(EMC) requirements in this condition. The Indigo DT and Indigo DTSE have front panel processors. These processors monitor the power rail voltage levels (+5.5V and -6.0V) and the fan speed. Status information is indicated by the state of the FAN, PSU and TEMP LEDs on the front panel and the alarm relay. - Page 5 Note : Serial RS422 control from Statesman or third party applications is no longer supported. All connections should be made via Ethernet. Crystal Vision AE and SE frames running v4.6 software or later support Statesman, ASCII and HTTP/JSON control protocols. An optional SNMP licence can be purchased to enable control and monitoring via SNMP.

Frame Setup The frame must have a licence for SNMP operation for it to respond properly to SNMP requests. - Page 44 Check that the ‘Licenses’ section shows “Found a License for SNMP”. If no licence is found contact Crystal Vision to get an SNMP licence for this frame. Once the frame is licensed for SNMP you will need to set the address to which you want it to send unprompted SNMP messages (traps).
