SnmpDevice
SnmpDevice represents a remote Snmp device that is treated as an agent. The SnmpDevice is available in the nSnmp module. Bajadoc is available at BSnmpDevice.bajadoc.

In addition to the standard properties (Status, Enabled and Fault Cause), these properties are unique to this component.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Health | read-only | Reports the status of the network, device or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot problems but it provides no direct management controls. |
| Alarm Source Info | additional properties | Contains a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms when this component is the alarm source. |
| Poll Frequency | drop-down list (defaults to Normal)
|
Selects among three rates (Fast, Normal and Slow) to determine how often to query the component for its value. The network’s
Poll Service or Poll Scheduler defines these rates in hours, minutes and seconds. For example:
This property applies to all proxy points. |
| Points | container | Contains the points associated with this device. |
| Traps | container | Contains the alarm associated with the device. |
| Snmp Version | number | Select the version of the Snmp protocol to use for communication with this SnmpDevice |
| Retry Count | number | Configures how many times to repeat a network read request, if no response is received before the response timeout interval elapses. |
| Response Timeout | hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds (defaults to 2 seconds) | Configures the length of time before the system times out when interrogating a device on the network. Start by setting this
value to a large number, such as 40 seconds. Then, reduce it depending on the number of devices and on the discovery performance.
NOTE: Baud rate also impacts performance especially if each device has a different baud rate.
|
| Max Variable Bindings Per Request | number | Configures the maximum number of variable bindings to include in each Snmp request message sent to the Snmp device. The default value is 10, however, this value can be any integer value greater than or equal to 1. |
| IP Address | IP address | Identifies a device, which is connected to a network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. |
| Port | numeric | Identifies the port number on the controller or computer used to connect to the network.
If using fox streaming, which uses the station to render the video stream, this port should be different from the station’s fox port. If you are not using fox streaming, this port should be the same as the station’s fox port. |
| Community | Text | Specifies the community string field to use for outgoing Snmp request messages sent to the SnmpDevice. The default value is public. |
| Mib | ord | Configure the Mib path. |
