Enter a descriptive name that eDrive will use to reference this device. Spaces and punctuation characters are allowed.
Device Type
From the drop down list, select the option: SNMP.
Polling Timeout
From the drop down list, select the value (in seconds) that will determine how long eDrive will wait for responses from this device before declaring a timeout event and moving on to its next task.
The intent of the timeout period is to allow enough time for the device to fully respond to requests from eDrive, but also allow eDrive to move on to other tasks if the device is offline and not able to respond.
IP Address
Enter the IP Address of the SNMP device.
Port
Enter the IP Port Number used for this device. Default port for SNMP is 161.
Target Interval
Enter the value (in seconds) that represents how often this device needs to poll all of its Point Objects. eDrive will distribute its polling activities over the Target Interval and attempt to complete the polling for all of its Point Objects within the Target Interval if possible.
SNMP Version
From the drop down list, select the SNMP version used by the target device.
The remaining fields will change based on the requirements of the SNMP version selected.
SNMP Authentication Fields
These fields will vary based on the SNMP Version (above) selected. Your system administrator can provide the necessary information to be entered in these fields.
BACnet Point Object Configuration Parameters:
Name
Enter a descriptive name that eDrive will use to reference this Point Object. Spaces and punctuation characters are allowed.
If '/' (forward slash) characters are included in the name, eDrive will create the Point Object in a hierarchical, tree structure with the '/' characters as delimiters. The tree structure will appear in the list of eDrive objects along the right hand side of the page.
Object ID
Enter the SNMP ObjectID that corresponds to the value selected. This information can be obtained from the device manufacturer's MIB file, or through the use of several popular MIB browsers. The full ObjectID is required.
To conveniently utilize the values from SNMP Objects, it is often desirable to scale them to represent other units of measure. Select the desired multiplier from the drop down list, or enter a custom value directly into this field.
Note! You can assign Additional Properties to any Point Object such as Offset, scaling Multiplier, History, etc. Please refer to the Additional Point Properties section for more detail.
When Device and/or Point Object configuration is complete, select the Submit Config function to save your changes to eDrive.
