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

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 the ARC Series), each with a unique address (OID), communicate with the
NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK

module, which serves as the Agent.
3. A virtual database known as the Management Information Base (MIB) lists all the variables being
