Page 226 Remote RMM-1400. job property A job property is a runtime parameter for a job on Remote RMM-1400. These properties are used within a Python script. job task A job task is an optional initialization step for a job before it runs a script. Tasks are used when a super user is required for job configuration, since scripts cannot be run by a privileged user on Remote RMM-1400.
Page 227 Glossary keep-alive packets Keep-alive packets are sent from both the client and server when no user data is being transmitted. When one side of the connection fails to receive packets, a notification is sent to indicate a disconnected peer. These packets also maintain an active firewall state.
Page 228: Mac Address
Glossary local method The local method specifies the protocol Remote RMM-1400 uses to authenticate a peer device on a serial controller PPP link. The two available methods are challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) and password authentication protocol (PAP). local secret The local secret is supplied by the local site and sent to a remote device.
Page 229 Glossary maximum current The maximum current is the highest valid current allowed on a specified analog input and the sensor value associated with that current. maximum lease time The maximum lease time is the maximum amount of time, in seconds, a device can use an IP address assigned by the DHCP server.
Page 230: Network Address Translation
Glossary nagging Nagging is the process of repeatedly generating an alarm message at fixed intervals even in the absence of an alarm state change. This is particularly useful for SNMP traps which do not provide guaranteed delivery. nagging interval The nagging interval configures the number of seconds between instances of an alarm sending its state to all enabled protocols.
Page 231: Ntp Server
OID (Object Identifier) points to a specific parameter in the SNMP agent. offset When configuring the timezone for Remote RMM-1400, offset is the number of hours and minutes difference between the desired time zone and the default time zone, which is standard GMT +0.00.
Page 232 Bit parity is the process for detecting whether or not bits of data have been altered during data transmission. peripheral device A peripheral device is a system component that expands Remote RMM-1400’s functionality. The only peripheral device currently available for Remote RMM-1400 is the discrete expansion peripheral, which adds additional I/O points that are controlled by Remote RMM-1400.
Page 233 A profile gives a user designated permissions for operating commands in Remote RMM-1400. User profiles can be status, management, supervisor, or restricted. Python package A Python package is a directory used to store Python modules. The package can contain subpackages, resulting in a hierarchical directory structure.
Page 234 Glossary raw alarm output Raw alarm output is an Remote RMM-1400 alarm format that contains all information about the alarm and the event that caused it. It can be used for alarm formats that are not directly supported by Remote RMM-1400. A script or application can take the alarm information from the raw output and translate it into any type of alarm message.
Page 235 A response type defines the activity that can be executed by the responder, such as disable, enable, or close. restart attempts The number of times Remote RMM-1400 will attempt to restart a job if it stops abnormally. RTS signal The RTS signal is a control signal that may be used as part of the connect and disconnect handshake or for hardware flow control.
Page 236 (such as, connection information for a network element, baud rates, TID’s, phone numbers, software version, and user name and password information) to Remote RMM-1400 when a job is executed. In addition, a script can define job tasks and the properties required to request IP configuration for a device or open a server socket connection to receive and transmit data.
Page 237: Snmp Management System
The SNMP trap queue saves SNMP traps when network connectivity is lost. When the network comes back up, the SNMP traps are sent. This feature accommodates wireless connections on Remote RMM-1400, which are less reliable than regular connections. When trap queuing is enabled, pings are sent to SNMP hosts before traps are sent.
Page 238: Stop Bits
TACACS+ is a protocol that provides remote user authentication. task position A task position is the order in which a task will be executed within Remote RMM-1400. The position indicates where in the list a task should appear. Unless a user specifies a new position for a task, Remote RMM-1400 adds new tasks to the end of the list.
