SNMP Fault & Alarm Reporting Enhances your Facility Control

May 13, 2004, 2004 - Redmond, Washington, USA – Avitech introduces the AviNETTM , a standards-based alarm reporting system utilizing SNMP. This alarm capability is part of the new Media Command Center (MCC), which will be showcased at the upcoming InfoComm2004 trade show in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Booth #4347.

Management and control solutions are the keys to managing the various elements and equipment within broadcast, surveillance facilities, and other networked environments. The acquisition, storage, routing, distribution and signal processing equipment are often physically separated into two locations, with the user interface in one location, and the components mounted remotely in an equipment area. Because of this separation, device monitoring has always been a challenge. And due to the continued push for greater facility efficiency and more complex operational situations, device monitoring is becoming a necessary tool.

AviNETTM is a software-based subsystem that uses industry-standard Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This faults & alarm reporting subsystem provides system status information by sending out SNMP traps such as; no video, no audio, audio out of range, module failure and controller failure. When coupled with a SNMP network management system such as NetCentralTM from Thomson Grass Valley, it can become part of a very powerful alarm management solution.

AviNETTM is not just limited to alarm reporting from Avitech provided equipment. It can also be integrated with 3rd party SNMP managers, which can set alarm messages to be displayed as tickers directly on the Avitech virtual monitor wall systems, such as the Media Command Center.

“A lot of the AviNETTM capability already existed in forms of GPI triggers, therefore the development of AviNETTM was a natural progression for us as we continue to move our product roadmaps towards meeting the demands of the IT evolution. Our customers can now select the SNMP manager that suites their needs, and have the convenience of seeing any alarm messages directly in front of them instead of searching for them on a separate computer monitor,” states Thomas Tang, VP Marketing & Sales.
