SNMP can be used to monitor the status, and control the configuration, of a receiver through SNMP get and set
requests. SNMP values are organized in a tree structure called a Management Information Base (MIB). International
Datacasting uses a Private Enterprise Number of 3602 - this is the root node for IDC equipment under the Enterprise
node of the MIB tree, and the number is 1.3.6.1.4.1.3602. In addition to these values the receiver also supports the IP
branch of MIB-II (1.3.6.1.2.1.3) except for the IP Address Translation table.
A separate International Datacasting application note is provided with details on the content of the MIB. Please
proceed to Chapter 3 for more information on obtaining application notes.
Controlling the Receiver with NetManager2
Many accessible functions within the SFX Series satellite receiver can also be controlled over the satellite link, or
through a local Ethernet connection, using International Datacasting’s NetManager2 system. This is a secure control
system that allows the network provider to control functions of the receiver using the Network Control Channel (NCC)
IP stream, encapsulated in the NCC PID or multicast through the receiver Ethernet port. There is potentially one NCC
PID stream per DVB Carrier, and you can configure DVB Carriers using one of the other Status and Control methods
(e.g. LCD/Keypad Interface or Web GUI), so that NetManager2 control can be brought online.
Not all functions can be remotely controlled via NetManager2 over the satellite, as they could be site-specific
configurations. Therefore, these types of functions must be controlled using one of the other means previously
described or by using NetManager2 through a local Ethernet connection on the same subnet as the receiver. To allow
Netmanager2 control through the Ethernet port, the NCC multicast address must be changed to match the NCC
address. The associated port is defaulted to 6000. Please contact International Datacasting Sales or Customer
Support for more information on NetManager2, or using NetManager2 through a local connection (see Chapter 3).
