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 VL-Fiber demo Manager
graphical user interface (GUI), third party or custom manager software may be used to monitor and
control Evertz VistaLINK
2. Managed devices, (such as 7707EO-HD and 7707OE-HD cards), each with a unique address (OID),
communicate with the NMS through an SNMP Agent. Evertz VistaLINK
reside in the 3RU 7700FR-C MultiFrame and communicate with the manager via the 7700FC
VistaLINK frame controller module, which serves as the Agent.
®
3. A virtual database, known as the Management information Base (MIB), lists all the variables being
monitored, which both the Manager and Agent understand.
information about obtaining a copy of the MIB for interfacing to a third party Manager/NMS.
