Channels

0

Using the channel editor, MIB files of agents can be imported as well as dependent MIB files - either completely new or successively by importing further MIB files. After each successful import, the OID directory is rebuilt and can also be sorted by the respective columns. The object IDs to be queried must be selected in the "Queries" column, from which dynamic communication objects are then generated. The table entries (number of objects) can be increased or decreased to the required number (e.g. number of hard disks in a NAS).

Agent IP

IP address of the SNMP agent to be queried via the previously selected channels. The Agent's specific MIB files should have been imported previously.

Agent Port

161

Port of the agent to be queried.

SNMP version

one

Opens the editor for setting the SNMP version. If V3 is used, the authentication and encryption passwords and the associated protocols can be specified.

SNMP Read Community

public

Access rights of the named community for read-only access (usually "public")

SNMP write community

private

Access rights of the mentioned community for read and write access (mostly "private")

Cyclic updating

Active

This can be used to set whether the cyclical scanning of the selected objects should be activated at project start.

Update pause [s]

60

Pause between updates in seconds

Sequential updating

Inactive

Defines whether the objects should be updated in parallel or sequentially.

Retries

1

Retries of the channels to be queried within the tables

Timeout [ms]

1000

Adjustable timeout for establishing a connection to the agent

Timeout [tables] [ms]

1000

Adjustable timeout for internal table query of OIDs

Query linked channels only

Active

If the selection is active, only linked or used communications objects (KOs) are queried, otherwise all objects in the table

Old implementation

With this option, processing is realised via a newer or older API.

Index of the first table entry

1

Setting for the first entry in a table. Possible values are 0 and 1.

Driver On/Off

Active

Start behaviour of the component at simulation start or EisBaer server start

Update

Input

A manual query can be initiated here.

Updating is carried out

Output

Status output, whether the update is currently active/inactive

debug [Text]

Output

Error messages are output here. Attention: Diagnosis or debug outputs are only provided for the case of errors. Please only use them after consulting the support team! If used, these can considerably impair the performance of the service.

Verbose debug

Input

Turns advanced diagnostics on or off.

Last update time [s]

Output

Duration in seconds of the last update.

Next update [s]

Output

Time in seconds until the next query in the form of a countdown .

Driver On/Off

Bidirectional

Driver On or Off or status output whether driver is switched on or off.

Connection status

Output

Status output of the connection status. However, a ping to the agent is not sent here, but rather an active check is made for accessible data points.

Cyclical update

Bidirectional

Here the cyclic update can be (de)activated during runtime or used as status output.

Dynamic

Folder

Contains the data points of the selected ObjectIDs (OIDs) from the channel editor.

- OID name

Output

Here the corresponding outputs are to be found for every defined activated data point. Here the whole hierarchy is shown as shown in the MIB and in the editor. An easier linking is made possible by the "Driver Data Points" window. The filter function allows a very fast search for objects by OID number or OID name.
