SNMP Remote Control
Configuration
WVR5200 System Integrator
SNMP remote control is primarily intended for instrument access using automated
systems. If you intend to use SNMP commands to control the instrument, you
must first configure the SNMP settings on the waveform monitor.
NOTE.
The SNMP commands are contained in a MIB (Management Information
Base). Refer to the WFM Series Waveform Monitors and WVR Series Waveform
Rasterizers Management Information Base Technical Reference (Tektronix
part number 077-0261-XX) for information about using the MIB to control the
instrument.
The procedure to configure SNMP settings is similar to that previously described
for configuring the IP settings. Touch SNMP Setup in the Communication
submenu of the Main menu to configure the following SNMP parameters:
Remote SNMP Enable. Use this setting to configure the remote access to the
instrument via SNMP. You can select Off or On.
SNMP Traps. Use this setting to enable or disable the SNMP traps that are
sent from the instrument when error conditions are detected.
Trap Destination Address. Use these settings to enter up to four different
IP addresses to which SNMP traps will be sent when error conditions are
detected.
NOTE. A value of all zeroes for the IP address will disable that trap output.
Private Community String. Use this menu setting to enter the Private
Community string, which effectively is a password. Without this string,
SNMP commands cannot change values in the waveform monitor.
NOTE.
Use the Private Community String to control the ability of SNMP
commands to make changes to the waveform monitor. Use the Public Community
String to control the ability of SNMP commands to read information from the
waveform monitor.
Public Community String. This menu entry allows you to set the Public
Community string. This string is effectively a password. Without this string,
SNMP commands cannot read information from the instrument.
