Chapter 1 Introduction

Introducing NUCLEUS-SNMP Device Control

The NUCLEUS

SNMP Device Control option provides NUCLEUS and

NUCLEUS-DM the ability to control and monitor any device that communicates using SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c. The SNMP Device control option provides user-configurable access to all product control and status parameters for remote operation.

Like other NUCLEUS options, NUCLEUS SNMP device control requires CCS

Navigator to create configuration files. Those configuration files can be transferred to the NUCLEUS control panel using CCS Navigator, or can be transferred to and from a USB storage device.

4 NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2 Configuration

Note

Except where noted, the term NUCLEUS is used in the manual to refer to both NUCLEUS and NUCLEUS-DM.

Overview

NUCLEUS must be configured before you can use it to control devices.

NUCLEUS configurations are created using CCS Navigator in Build mode. When a NUCLEUS configuration is complete, it can be transferred to the control panel via an Ethernet connection, or to an external USB memory key.

NUCLEUS configurations consist of the assignment of panel controls to perform tasks such as accessing devices and setting device parameters. Only a CCS software application, such as Navigator (in Build mode), can be used to create the configuration and make modifications to control assignments.

When a configuration is accessed on NUCLEUS, all of the configuration information, including device parameters and the control assignments (the assignment of parameters to adjustment knobs and adjustment buttons) become active on the panel. You can then use NUCLEUS to control other devices.

NUCLEUS can hold up to five different configurations, although only one can be active at a time. Each configuration is identified by a user-defined configuration name and, optionally, protected by a password, which is assigned when the configuration is created. This password must be entered before the configuration can be accessed on the control panel.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

Devices, Virtual Devices, and Favorites

You can create NUCLEUS configurations to control individual devices, virtual devices, or a combination of both.

Devices

For NUCLEUS configurations, a device refers to a single physical module, such as a video processor module or an audio signal processor module, or a stand-alone device.

Virtual Devices

Configurations can be customized to best suit specific broadcast situations and environments. For example, configurations can be created for operators who require quick access to a small number of device parameters and settings. This type of configuration can be organized to reduce the number of keystrokes that are required to navigate between crucial controls and parameter adjustments. More complex configurations can be created to provide access to the full range of device parameters for setup or test purposes.

Virtual devices are logical groupings of up to five distinct devices. By organizing modules into virtual devices, individual modules can be controlled and monitored as a group. This is useful in situations when different devices are associated with a single signal path. Modules do not have to be from the same product line to be part of the same virtual device, nor do they need to share the same IP address. If you have a NUC-OPT-SNMP license key and a NUC-OPT-PROC license key, a virtual device can include both SNMP and CCS-P devices.

Favorites

Favorites are the device’s or virtual device’s most commonly used parameters.

When you add a device or virtual device to a NUCLEUS configuration, the

Favorites parameter lists for all the stand-alone devices are also added to the configuration. ‘Favorites’ parameter lists allow the administrator to shorten the list of parameters that must be assigned to the control panel. Establishing

‘Favorites’ for a device or virtual device makes the configuration process quicker.

During the configuration process, a window will show all the available parameters. This list is more manageable if ‘Favorites’ are established in advance.

Chapter 2: Configuration

Creating a New NUCLEUS Configuration

NUCLEUS configurations can only be created using CCS software applications.

The best way to create configurations is to use the Configuration wizard.

Note

This section assumes that you are familiar with CCS Navigator. For more information about using Navigator, see your online help or software user guide.

When the configuration is complete, it is saved as an XML file, and then transferred to your NUCLEUS control panel via an Ethernet connection or by using an external USB memory key.

Note

The PC and the devices you are discovering must be on the same subnet.

3. Click Add, and then in the Add Host box do either of the following:

• Add a host IP

• Add a range of host IPs

4. Under Select Products for Discovery, choose SNMP and make selection in the following areas to match your network configuration:

• Read Community—Enter the name here if it differs from the default of

Public

• Port—Enter a number from 0 to 65535; the default port is 161

• Timeout (sec.)—The period when the discovery will give up on finding the SNMP device can range from 1 to 1000 seconds

• Retries—The number of retries if the discovery fails can range from 1 to

1000

5. Click OK to close the Add Host dialog box, and then click OK to close the

Discovery Options dialog box.

6. Click Start on the Discovery pane button bar.

The Discovery tool will ping all IP addresses on the network, and then log the

IP addresses and device IDs for all responding SNMP devices in the

Discovery pane’s Status dialog box.

If you do not click Stop, the discovery will stop automatically when it finishes searching the network.

7. When the discovery is complete, click Save on the Discovery pane button bar to transfer the discovery results to the Discovery folder in the Navigation pane.

Chapter 2: Configuration

4. If an error occurs when the MIB files are loaded, an alert box will show. Click

OK to acknowledge the box, then click View Log to read the description of the load errors. Either remove the MIB files that caused the error or add any missing MIB files.

5. Click OK to accept the changes and close the SNMP Options box.

Adding Devices to NUCLEUS

To determine the devices that your NUCLEUS panel will control, you need to add devices to the NUCLEUS configuration’s Devices folder. You can add

•

Online SNMP devices that are currently available for discovery; see “Adding

Online SNMP Devices” on page 13

For best results, discover available devices before adding them to your configuration. See

“Discovering SNMP Devices” on page 8 .

•

Offline SNMP devices that are not available for discovery; see “Adding

Offline SNMP Devices” on page 14

If you add offline devices to your configuration, you will need to update the

NUCLEUS configuration when the offline device is available for control.

Offline device can also be added to virtual devices.

• Virtual devices from one or more online or offline device (which can include both SNMP and processing devices if your control panel has a

NUC-OPT-PROC license in addition to its NUC-OPT-SNMP license); see

“Creating a Virtual Device” on page 16

Any online device you add to a virtual device must first be discovered using the Discovery tool. To add an offline device, you must first set its IP address to a default value (see steps 1 to 7 from

“Creating a Virtual Device” on page 16 ).

The advantages of using virtual devices in a NUCLEUS configuration include the following:

• Parameters from different devices can be accessed by selecting a single device name on NUCLEUS.

• Virtual devices and their corresponding control assignments can be copied to other virtual devices (as long as they are made up of the same devices and favorites lists) and to any number of configurations.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

• Virtual devices are assigned index values, which can be entered into the control panel to provide quick access to its associated devices, parameters, and control assignments.

All of the devices in the Virtual Device folder can be included in a

NUCLEUS configuration.

Using the NUCLEUS Configuration Wizard

The Configuration wizard is the quickest and easiest way to create configurations for your NUCLEUS control panel. The wizard guides you through the configuration and provides information about each configuration step. Additional help can be accessed by clicking the Help button in the Configuration wizard dialog boxes.

When creating a NUCLEUS configuration, parameters are assigned to controls by dragging them from a parameter (Favorites) list to a graphical representation of the control panel’s adjustment knobs and buttons. You can logically group parameters and provide intuitive names for each parameter menu. The

Configuration wizard does not restrict the way in which you choose to assign parameters to controls. Therefore, you must be sure that parameters are assigned to the most appropriate control locations on the panel.

Using categories, device menus, and sub-menus, you can customize the navigational structure of your configuration so that control of important parameters can be accessed quickly.

You can also use the Configuration wizard to modify an existing configuration.

For more information about modifying a configuration, see “Modifying

NUCLEUS Configurations” on page 49 .

Starting the NUCLEUS Configuration Wizard

To start the Configuration wizard, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the control panel icon, and then select Configuration from the context menu.

The Configuration for NUCLEUS dialog box opens.

2. Click the Control Panel tab.

20 NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

3. If you are creating your first NUCLEUS configuration, the Control Panel

Configuration dialog box opens, and then asks you if you want to use the

Configuration wizard to create a panel configuration. Click Yes to start the

Configuration wizard.

Otherwise, you can start the Configuration wizard by selecting (new

configuration) from the Configuration list.

Figure 2-8. Selecting a New Configuration

The following sections provide additional information about each Configuration wizard step.

Selecting a Configuration Type

When the Configuration wizard starts, a dialog box similar to the following appears.

Figure 2-9. New Configuration Dialog Box

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

In this step, you select the type of configuration that you want to create. The configuration type you select depends on the way in which you want organize your configuration and how you want to use the control panel’s LCD buttons to access devices and device parameters. Each configuration type is described in the following sections.

• LCD Assignment—Using this type of configuration, you can organize your device navigation by individual device names. Each device is accessible through the first level of the control panel’s LCD button assignment.

Figure 2-10 on page 23 illustrates the organization of a LCD Assignment type

of configuration.

• Split Navigation—Using this type of configuration, devices are accessed using to first row of LCD buttons. The bottom row of LCD buttons provides access to the selected device’s control menus and parameters. This configuration type is ideal for an operator-driven environment in which users must quickly jump from device to device. Devices are immediately accessible because the device LCD buttons are always displayed. There is no need to

“Exit” out of a device as with the LCD Assignment configuration.

Note

You can only assign parameters to the lower row of LCD buttons in this mode.

Figure 2-11 on page 24 illustrates the organization of a Split Navigation type

of configuration.

• Device Category—Using this type of configuration, you can organize devices and virtual devices into categories. Categories are accessible through the first level of the control panel’s LCD button assignment hierarchy.

Figure 2-12 on page 25 illustrates the organization of a Device Category type

of configuration.

• Blank Configuration—Select this option if you don’t want to configure your control panel using the Configuration wizard. See Volume 1 of your

Navigator User Manual for information about configuring NUCLEUS without the Configuration wizard.

Adding NUCLEUS-TRAX To Your Configuration

NUCLEUS-TRAX is a software keyed option for your NUCLEUS control panel.

When you add TRAX to your NUCLEUS configurations, you create direct links or “control display jumps” to pre-assigned device controls. These jumps automatically open a device control window when a specific source is routed to a specific destination. When these conditions are met, after the crosspoint take is executed, NUCLEUS jumps to the device menu associated with selected source and/or destination. You can then make parameter adjustments for the devices.

NUCLEUS-TRAX is linked to router crosspoint take commands. You do not need the NUCLEUS router control option to enable NUCLEUS-TRAX.

Note

You can enter the NUCLEUS-TRAX license key using the Device tab of the

Configuration for NUCLEUS dialog box in CCS Navigator, or you can enter the key directly on the control panel.

For more information about purchasing NUCLEUS-TRAX features, contact your

NUCLEUS sales representative. For information about using TRAX on the control panel, see

“Using NUCLEUS-TRAX” on page 66 .

Using the TRAX Configuration dialog box, you can define the conditions that trigger NUCLEUS to jump from the routing panel to the device menu. Before you can add NUCLEUS-TRAX to the configuration, you must have a Router System

Control View in NUCLEUS’ Router folder.

TRAX works in two different modes:

• Single Destination mode is designed to have the selected destination as a QC station. Devices connected to the sources are displayed in NUCLEUS.

• Multiple Destination mode shows the input (upstream) and output

(downstream) devices in a ‘vertical split mode’ scenario. This allows easier adjustment of parameters on either side of the router which will allow operators to quickly adjust video without having to specifically key in a given device.

To add NUCLEUS-TRAX to your NUCLEUS configuration, follow these steps:

1. In the NUCLEUS Configuration window Control Panel tab, under Panel

Configuration, select a configuration from the list.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

2. In the NUCLEUS Configuration window, click the TRAX button.

The TRAX Configuration dialog box opens.

Figure 2-23. Adding TRAX to a NUCLEUS Configuration

3. Choose a mode under Destination Follow Mode.

If you chose Single Destination Mode, follow these steps: a.

Click Select to choose the destination for which you want to have TRAX automatically open device controls. b. From the Logical Destination list, select a destination, and then click

OK.

If you chose Multiple Destination mode, the Logical to Device Mapping table contains a Sources tab and a Destinations tab. Both need to be completed.

4. Select a row in the Map Logical Source to Device table.

Note

To remove a link to a device, click a row in the Logical Source to Device table on the TRAX tab, and then click Clear. This deletes the link from the

Menu Entry column of the selected row. You can make multiple selections to remove several assignments at one time.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

5. Click Modify…

The Device Selection dialog box opens. The contents of this box are the same as the Panel Configuration pane, and show the menu structure of the current

NUCLEUS configuration.

Figure 2-24. Device Selection Dialog

Note

You can only select a non-routing device or virtual device.

6. Select the device that you would like to open when the source is connected to the destination, and then click OK.

The menu’s name appears in the Menu Entry field of the Map Logical

Source to Device table.

7. Repeat steps 2 - 4 for each row in the configuration.

In Multiple Destination mode, complete both the Source and Destination tabs.

When you load this configuration file to your NUCLEUS control panel and switch an input to a destination, the control panel will load the assigned menu or menus.

By default, a trax jump occurs when the switch matches the lowest destination

level. See “Setting the TRAX Options”

for information about changing this setting.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 2: Configuration

Setting Destination Mode Options

Use Destination Mode options to set the conditions that determine whether or not a TRAX jump occurs based on the available levels. These settings apply to both single and multiple destination modes.

To open the NUCLEUS TRAX Options dialog box, from the Trax

Configuration dialog box, click Trax Options....

Figure 2-25. TRAX Options Dialog Box for NUCLEUS

This setting determines which level or levels must be switched to the target destination in order to trigger TRAX to update the menu that appears on your

NUCLEUS control panel.

Table 2-1. TRAX Options

Option Result

Source Change must match all Destination levels configured

TRAX is triggered when all of a router destination's levels are included in a crosspoint take. If any destination level is in a breakaway state, the TRAX jump does not execute.

Source Change must match on the levels specified (e.g.,

0,1,2)

TRAX is triggered only when the specified level(s) is included in the crosspoint take. When you enter a level in the Level box, the TRAX jump executes on this level.

Source Change must match on the lowest Destination level configured

TRAX is triggered only when the lowest level is included in the crosspoint take.

Source Change must match on the highest Destination level configured

TRAX is triggered only when the highest level is included in the crosspoint take.

Modifying SNMP Table Parameters

When using SNMP table parameters, you choose the device at the control panel.

To control a specific device with a table parameter, follow these steps:

1. Click on the table parameter button you want to control.

The table parameter can be assigned to a control knob, control button, or LCD button.

The LCD buttons update to display the instance IDs of the various devices that are associated with the MIB associated with the selected parameter.

2. Press the LCD button related to the instance ID of the device you want to control.

The NUCLEUS display updates to show the various controls associated with that device and that parameter.

3. Use the controls, as described in “Modifying String and String-List

Parameters” on page 61 , to adjust the parameter setting.

This does not apply to SNMP value parameters, because the instance ID of the specific device to be controlled is defined during the configuration process (see

“Adding Device Menus and Assigning Parameters to Panel Controls” on page 29 ).

SNMP Traps and Alarms

Each SNMP device in your network has a list of traps.

Chapter 3: Operation

Figure 3-7. SNMP Trap Summary on NUCLEUS Control Panel

Value changes (traps) are not normally seen by SNMP managers (such as

NUCLEUS) unless the control panel performs a get function to poll SNMP devices. You can configure the frequency with which polling takes place using the

Options menu SNMP Management tools. See “SNMP Options Sub-Menu

Items” on page 65

Using the NUCLEUS control panel’s Active Alarms and Configure Alarms menus, you can view information about traps; you can enable, disable, and configure any traps that are received at the control panel. These menus are accessed from the Options menu.

NUCLEUS SNMP Device Control Option Configuration and Operation Manual

Chapter 3: Operation

A trap for which the MIB is available and the device is configured will decode the information, as in

Figure 3-8 .

Figure 3-8. Active SNMP Trap on NUCLEUS Control Panel

If the MIB is not available, the parameter OID information is not decoded, as in

Figure 3-9

Figure 3-9. SNMP Trap on NUCLEUS When MIB is Missing

To acknowledge a trap, press Enter. Acknowledging a trap removes it from the

Active Alarms lists. Pressing Exit does not acknowledge the trap, so it remains in the Active Alarms list until the alarm log reaches its maximum capacity. This capacity is determined by the Max Trap Number setting in the SNMP

Management options. See

“SNMP Options Sub-Menu Items” on page 65

for more information.

SNMP Management Options

To view or change the SNMP management options on your NUCLEUS control panel:

1. Select the Option function button.
