Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
All multiviewers, except for the KMV-3901/3911 and Kaleido-XQUAD, support at least one
SNMP agent, which is capable of sending SNMP traps to notify external SNMP managers of
significant events. Within your multiviewer system, these significant events are reported as
alarms (see
Alarm on page 159).
Some text status data (e.g., AFD/WSS format, Dolby E or Dolby VANC encoded dialnorm or
program config, etc.) only become available to SNMP managers once they have been
displayed on the monitor wall. In the case of a Kaleido-IP multiviewer, the SNMP status for
an alarm is only valid, if the corresponding source is monitored on the monitor wall.
SNMP traps
Setting up your multiviewer’s SNMP trap process involves the following actions:
• Identify the targets (SNMP managers) to which SNMP traps will be sent (see Identifying
Target SNMP Managers on page 185).
• Choose the traps that will be sent to the selected SNMP managers (see Enabling SNMP
Traps on page 187). Not available for Kaleido-IP.
Traps are automatically sent for all logical sources’ global alarms (see Global Alarms on
page 163), and for virtual alarms (see Virtual Alarm on page 164). Each trap contains a
cause, and the name of the logical source. Health-related traps for Kaleido-X, Kaleido-X16,
Kaleido-MX, Kaleido-MX 4K, and Kaleido-Modular-X are also automatically sent. Kaleido-IP
X100 and Kaleido-IP X300 multiviewers cannot send health-related SNMP traps. To send
health-related traps, a Kaleido-IP X110 or Kaleido-IP X310 requires advanced server
configuration, for which you might need assistance from Technical Support (see
Contact
Us , on page 549).
TIP
To make text status available to SNMP managers
1 In XEdit, add the text status element from the appropriate source signal to
a logical source (channel).
2 Assign the logical source to a UMD.
3 Load the layout that includes this UMD on the monitor wall.
TIP
Create virtual alarms based on health-related alarms from your Kaleido-IP to
make this information automatically available to your target SNMP
managers.
To make Kaleido-IP health-related status available to SNMP managers
1 Connect XEdit to the Kaleido-IP.
2 On the Tools menu, click New virtual alarm.
3 In Build Virtual Alarm, select your Kaleido-IP from the list in the left-hand
part of the GSM alarm browser pane.
