Product details

Monitoring/SNMP

Function: receive CATCenter NEO status info

Operation via: web interface/SNMP

Efficiency: 1 cluster

The "CCNEO Monitoring" feature allows you to detect the system status of G&D devices. The web interface of the particular device provides these information, which can also be sent (SNMP trap) or queried (SNMP GET).

Both the monitoring function and SNMP trap and agent are included in the scope of supply. The information section shows the configuration settings and the detected status values of the device.

Among others, the following status values can be monitored:

Device's main power supply
Device's redundant power supply
Device's temperature

Status changes (e.g. power on/off) and exceeding defined threshold values (e.g. temperatures) highlight these values in red in the web interface. Based on defined parameters, the device also notifies the administrator.

The monitoring values can also be obtained from AMX Crestron control.

Easier access with SNMP tool Zabbix

For customers who are not yet using extensive SNMP tools, G&D offer a simple way to use the functions included in the devices. Templates for the open source tool Zabbix are provided here. The program lets users monitor SNMP-capable devices in a network and, among other things, issues warning notifications about critical device states, which have been received via SNMP trap.
