Snmp Agent Point Manager
Use the Snmp Agent Point Manager to create, edit, access, and delete SnmpAgent proxy points under a SnmpAgent. The Snmp Agent Point Manager is the default view for the SnmpAgentPointDeviceExt (Points container) under an SnmpAgent. The Snmp Agent Point Manager is also the default view for any SnmpAgentPointFolder under the Points container of an SnmpAgent.

Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Path | Reports the location of the device or point in the station. |
| Name | Reports the name of the entity or logical grouping. |
| Type | Reports the type of the point. |
| Out | Describes the output. |
| Object Identifier | Specifies the OID of the actual Snmp device where the data is to be read from or written to. |
| Index | The column index in the Input Table (or Output Table) used to locate the value of the proxy point. It is simply the last number in the 'Object Identifier' (OID) value. For example, if the index has a value of 1, then the OID containing the value of the point is 1.3.6.1.4.1.4131.1.4.1.3.1. If the index is 2, this corresponds to an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.4131.1.4.1.3.2, and so on. |
| Default Value | This property is the default value used for the output of the proxy point on startup prior to being set (by an external Snmp SET request). If 'autoSet' is checked, then the default value is automatically set (changed) whenever a new external Snmp SET request is received. If 'autoSet' is unchecked, then the user can specify a permanent default value (any external Snmp SET request will not change the default value). User can manually reset the proxy point's output to the default value at any time by selecting the 'Reset Point To Default' action. |
| Agent Table Entry Type | Descripes the type of table entry. |
| Enabled | Indicates if the network, device, point or component is active or inactive. |
| Device Facets | Defines a range of enumerated states. |
| Facets | Defines a range of enumerated states. |
| Conversion | Defines how the system converts proxy extension units to parent point units.
|
| Read Value | Displays the last value read from the device, expressed in device facets. |
| Write Value | Displays the last value written, using device facets. |
| Tuning Policy Name | Displays the tuning policy used to evaluate both write requests and the acceptability (freshness) of read requests. |
