Create Snmp proxy points

As with device objects in other drivers, each SnmpDevice has a Points extension that serves as the container for proxy points.

In an SnmpNetwork, the default view for the Points extension is the Snmp Point Manager for a Manager application or the Snmp Agent Point Manager for an Agent (Local Device) application. You use this Point Manager view to add Snmp proxy points under any SnmpDevice.

For general information about using the Point Manager view, refer to “About the Point Manager” in the Niagara Drivers Guide.

 
NOTE: The Snmp Agent Point Manager works differently than Snmp Point Manager. For example, Snmp Agent Point Manager does not have a Discover button for adding proxy points. Typically, you add new points by copying Agent Points from the nSnmp palette. In a Manager (Client) Snmp application, candidates for Snmp proxy points are always determined by using the Discover button and MIB files to find valid points and values on an Snmp Agent on the network. Once you discover these points, this information is then known to Niagara, and can be added using the Add or Match buttons.
