NetCentral SNMP Manager
The Thomson Grass Valley NetCentral system is a suite of software mod-
ules, residing on one or more centrally located PC-compatible computers.
These modules work together to monitor and report the operational status
of devices such as an Encore System Controller, using Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP).
The Encore SNMP Agents interface with NetCentral. The NetCentral
product is sold separately. Once the Encore SNMP Agent is registered, it
can be monitored by NetCentral.
NetCentral Capabilities
The Encore SNMP Agent is registered on an Encore System Controller. The
Encore System Controller will automatically send Trap messages to the
NetCentral Monitoring Station, reporting the device status. The NetCentral
Monitoring Station is configured to listen to and respond to the Trap mes
-
sages. The Trap message is assigned a severity status and a response. The
responses can range from; sound an alarm, or send E-mail, or call someone
on a phone, or call a pager, or log the status. For information on how to
install and configure NetCentral see NetCentral TV Facility Monitoring
System User Guide Software Version 4.1 or later.
NetCentral (Thomson Grass valley SNMP Manager) supports auto-dis-
covery, such that any SNMP device present on the network will be added
automatically to NetCentral. If the device is connected to EN2 of the Encore
network, it will not be detected by auto-discovery if the PC running Net
-
Central is connected to EN1 network. In such cases, customers have to add
devices on EN2 network manually to NetCentral.
