WHAT IS VISTALINK

VistaLINK is Evertz's remote monitoring and configuration platform which operates over an Ethernet
®
network using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is a standard computer network
protocol that enables different devices sharing the same network to communicate with each other.
VistaLINK provides centralized alarm management, which monitors, reports, and logs all incoming alarm
®
events and dispatches alerts to all the VLPro Clients connected to the server. Card configuration through
VistaLINK PRO can be performed on an individual or multi-card basis using simple copy and paste
®
routines, which reduces the time to configure each module separately. Finally, VistaLINK
user to configure devices in the network from a central station and receive feedback that the configuration
has been carried out.
There are 3 components of SNMP:
1. An SNMP manager also known as a Network Management System (NMS) is a computer running
special software that communicates with the devices in the network. Evertz VistaLINK
graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and
control Evertz VistaLINK
2. Managed devices (such as 7711HDC), each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the NMS
through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK
C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC VistaLINK
which serves as the Agent.
3. A virtual database known as the Management Information Base (MIB) lists all the variables being
monitored and which both the Manager and Agent understand. Please contact Evertz for further
information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS.
