SNMP client proxy points

SNMP client proxy points must be located under the SNMP point device extension. SNMP proxy points are comprised of standard Niagara control points with unique SNMP proxy point extensions that define the SNMP-specific behavior of the point.

See the appropriate NiagaraAX-3.x Drivers Guide documentation for details on the basic control point types themselves.

You typically add SNMP client points under the SNMP points container during a “discovery” process using the SNMP Point Manager view. Use the Add or Match buttons to bring the points into the SNMP client application with the correct proxy point extension, based on your Type selection in the Add dialog box. Refer to About the SNMP point manager view for more information about the Point Manager view. The client proxy points and extensions are also available in the Client folder of the SNMP palette, as shown in Figure 8.
