The SNMP driver supports Cardinal points. Cardinal points use counter-type processing. Use SNMP Cardinal points to accumulate values over time, where those values are retrieved from network devices on your system, using the SNMP protocol.
Configure the properties of a cardinal point using the fields on the SNMP Cardinal Point Form.
This section summarizes the fields on the Form’s Cardinal Point tab.
Use the fields at the top of the Cardinal Point tab to:
- Configure the Common Point Properties
- Configure the Poll and Link Status Properties
- Configure the Trap Specific Properties
- Configure Integer and Cardinal Point Scaling.
The remaining fields on the Cardinal Point tab are common to counter-type points on many drivers. For information on these fields, see Defining Counter Point Details in the ClearSCADA Guide to Core Point Configuration.
For fields on other tabs on the Form, see Tabs on Configuration Forms.
