Warranty Policies
Warranty information is available in the Support section of the Grass Valley Web site
(www.miranda.com).
The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the devices supported by iControl,
including specific details on available alarms and their parameters.
Overview
iControl is capable of monitoring and controlling a large and growing number of devices, that
fall into three categories:
The diagram below shows how each category interfaces with iControl:
Supported Devices
•routers
•SNMP devices
•special devices
Routers
Router manufacturers implement proprietary protocols to enable control of their equipment.
iControl’s Router Service uses custom Grass Valley drivers to communicate with various
routers using their native protocol. In addition to managing router control, the iControl Router
Service is also able to publish router status and other information to the iControl GSM’s router
Supported Devices
SNMP Devices
plug-in. This plug-in ins responsible for collecting, displaying, and updating router status in
the GSM.
Some routers are also SNMP-enabled, and can send alarms to the iControl GSM. A specific
SNMP driver is available for each router type.
SNMP Devices
This broad category covers any hardware or software that is able to send SNMP traps. For each
supported device, an SNMP driver exists that enables some or all of the available SNMP
parameters to be captured and displayed in the GSM.
In some cases, iControl interfaces to a software application that itself is used to manage a
distinct set of equipment. The third party software, running on a PC or other hardware
controller, usually has an SNMP agent that can be configured to send status and/or alarm
messages. For each such agent, an SNMP driver exists that enables some or all of the available
SNMP parameters to be captured and made available via the GSM.
Special Devices
Where particularly complex devices are to be monitored by iControl, a Special Device service
exists to manage the flow of information.The status and alarm information from these devices
may use SNMP, HTTP or any of a number of other protocols. Custom drivers are available for
these multi-protocol devices, enabling custom GUI displays to be created within iControl.

HOST-RESOURCES MIB
The HOST-RESOURCES MIB, developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), is for use in
managing host systems. The term host is construed to mean any computer that
communicates with other similar computers attached to the internet and that is directly used
by one or more human beings. Although this MIB does not necessarily apply to devices whose
primary function is communications services (e.g., terminal servers, routers, bridges,
monitoring equipment), such relevance is not explicitly precluded. This MIB instruments
attributes common to all internet hosts including, for example, both personal computers and
systems that run variants of Unix.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), developed by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF), is used by a gateway or destination host to communicate with a source host, for
example, to report an error in datagram processing.
MIB-II (RFC 1213)
RFC 1213, developed by the SNMP Working Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF), defines the second version of the Management Information Base (MIB-II) for use with
network management protocols in TCP/IP-based internets. In particular, together with its
companion memos which describe the structure of management information (RFC 1155)
along with the network management protocol (RFC 1157) for TCP/IP-based internets, these
documents provide a simple, workable architecture and system for managing TCP/IP-based
internets and in particular the Internet community.
RMON (RFC 2819)
Remote Monitoring (RMON) is an Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard that enables
various network monitors and console systems to exchange monitoring data. It is used in
telecommunications equipment, such as routers, that implement a MIB (Management
Information Base) which supports remote monitoring. RMON uses an agent running on the
device being monitored to supply information over SNMP to a monitoring/control system (e.g.
iControl).

Plug-in Notes
• This plug-in uses the generic.js script.
•Traps are not supported.
• The RFC1213 MIB is not supported.
• OIDs with OS or process information are static. Alarm OIDs, however, are in arrays, and
consequently can be dynamic. The poller performs an SNMP
the array. Multiple varbind requests are not used since some issues have been seen during
real device test.
• The Vflex MIB was created to be highly generic. It defines modules. Each modules can have
a list of parameters (
name—used for GSM alarm name
•

•
condition—used to set GSM alarm status.
•
moduleValue). Each parameter has different properties:

• Currently, handled conditions are:
•ok, normal—sets status to
NORMAL
•warning—sets status to MINOR
•error—sets status to CRITICAL
•unknown—sets status to NORMAL
• If a condition string is not handled, the default behavior is to set status to NORMAL.
• The consequence of this generic MIB and this implementation is that alarms are not
known before starting the plug-in, possibly making integration more difficult.
• Alarms are dynamic, so in every refresh period (default is 5 minutes), arrays are
reconstructed.

software modules disconnected, which could change the available OIDs.
A modulator commonly varies some aspect (amplitude, phase or frequency) of an RF carrier (f',
in proportion to a much lower frequency video or digital input signal (fm). In general, the
input frequency components of the modulation typically extend from DC to 100 MHz, except
for fast data links.
In order to preserve the information content superimposed on the RF carrier, one must insure
that the output system bandwidth is adequate to pass both upper and lower sidebands (i.e. fo
+ fm) without distortion. In fact, system amplifier and channel distortion often will add
residual AM or PM modulation to an otherwise clean transmitter.

NSU1 160061
The Miteq 1:N New Switchover Unit (NSU) is designed to provide improved reliability for
advanced satellite communications systems. The NSU consists of a Control Unit, Switch
Modules and frequency converters. The Control Unit monitors the status of up to twelve
primary frequency converters and one backup frequency converter. When a fault is detected
on a primary frequency converter, the defective converter is automatically placed into
standby and the backup converter is placed on line in place of the defective converter using
the Switch Modules. The frequency converters can be prioritized so that critical
communication channels have access to the backup converter on a prioritized basis.
Switchover from a defective primary converter to the backup converter is achieved by
connecting the converters to a switch matrix. The defective converter is replaced by physically
removing its input/output signal lines and connecting them to the backup converter via the
switch matrix. This ensures continuous operation while the fault is corrected, or allows for
routine maintenance without disrupting signal transmission.
The plug-in supports the following alarms:

DSR-4410
The Motorola DSR-4410 is a 1RU commercial satellite receiver that can output either NTSC or
PAL video formats, automatically matching a programmer’s video format. Variable front-end
and bypass capabilities make it suited for network conversion from analog to digital. Full VBI
reinsertion on lines 10 - 22 for SID/AMOL I & II and NABTS is standard on the DSR-4410, which
is equipped with DVB-ASI input and output.
DSR-4440
This device is a Commercial Integrated Receiver/Decoder (IRD). It is a Multi-Format Digital
