Dual IP Configuration, continued

4.5 Server IP Types

Two different server IP types can be set for the SCTE-HMS side of the transponder; Server and Trap

Destinations.

Parameter

Purpose

Status

Value

Server IP

This is the IP address of the device that is

hosting the SNMP software manager that

interacts with the transponder. SNMP traps will

be sent to this address.

Optional

Dotted decimal IP address

(e.g., 192.168.1.23)

Trap Server IP

Setting the Server IP will direct traps to that

IP address. The “Trap Server IP” parameter

allows traps to be sent to a maximum of five

destinations. This allows traps to be sent to a

corporate and a regional site, if desired.

Optional

1

Dotted decimal IP address

(e.g., 192.168.1.23)

1 - Optional, unless SNMP traps are to be sent to alternate IP addresses

4.6 Advanced Security

Additional security can be added to the transponder system by further restricting the ability to read from or

write to the HMS side of the transponder by IP address.

Parameter

Purpose

Status

Value

Default

Secure

SNMP

This controls whether additional security is

enabled or not. Once enabled, only those

addresses in the “Secure Hosts” list will be able

to read or write to the transponder. Community

string security still applies.

Optional

In a CM file, either a 1 or 2,

where:

1 = Security ON

2 = Security OFF

With a hmsinit.ini file, either

ENABLE or DISABLE

2 (OFF)

Secure

Hosts

The IP addresses of up to five hosts entered

here are the only IP addresses that can Read

or Write (dependent upon the community

string used by the IP address performing the

operation) to the HMS side of the transponder.

It is important that if this security setting is ON,

(see “Secure SMNP” setting above), that the

server IP address be entered into this list. If

security is OFF, the “Secure Hosts” list will be

ignored.

Optional

1

Dotted quad IP address (e.g.,

192.168.1.23

, up to five

separate IP addresses)

0.0.0.0
