#### SNMP Connection - Main
38+
39+
This connector uses an SNMP connection and requires the following input during element creation:
40+
41+
SNMP CONNECTION:
42+
43+
- **IP address/host**: The polling IP of the device, e.g. *62.245.205.52.*
44+
- **Port number**: The port of the connected device, by default *161*.
45+
- **Get community string**: The community string used when reading values from the device, e.g. *public*.
46+
- **Set community string**: The community string used when setting values on the device, e.g. *private*.
47+
48+
#### Serial secondary connection
49+
50+
This connector uses a smart serial connection and requires the following input during element creation:
51+
52+
SERIAL CONNECTION:
53+
54+
- **IP address/host**: The polling IP of the device.
55+
- **IP port**: The default value is *52116*.
56+
- **Bus address**: A one-based number between 1 and 16, 16 included. Defines the level that is monitored by the connector.

62+
63+
### Configuration in case the matrix remains empty
64+
65+
In case the matrix remains empty after you have created the element, check if the IP address, bus address, and port are correct. Also verify if the DataMiner software is version 8.0.5.4 or later.
66+
67+
If this is the case and all settings seem correct, check the element log file and verify if there is no firewall blocking traffic on port 52116.

## How to Use
70+
71+
### Frame Controller Page
72+
73+
This page contains all the basic information about the frame, as well as some configuration/status subpages: Switchpoint, Power Supply and Fan, SNMP, Network, and Clock.
74+
75+
### Slot 1 PV 32x32 Page
76+
77+
This page contains the all input/output tables related to slot 1. Note that these are not linked to the matrix: the matrix tables are the source/destinations tables found on the routing subpages.
78+
79+
### Slot 2 PV-CQ-16 Page
80+
81+
This page contains the various parameters and tables related to slot 2. It includes the advanced settings for video and audio on separate subpages, as well as the Audio TSG and Miscellaneous sections.
82+
83+
### Faults Page
84+
85+
This page contains the Trap Outstanding Table, listing the current alarms across all 3 modules. For more detailed information about the faults, you can look at the subpages, which include every possible frame fault and slot 2 fault. (Slot 1 faults will be added in a next iteration).
86+
87+
### Routing Page
88+
89+
This page contains the basic LRC parameters and the channels table. This page also has the Destinations and Sources subpages, containing the respective tables.
90+
91+
### Destination Channels Page
92+
93+
This page contains the destination channels table.
94+
95+
### Matrix Page
96+
97+
This page contains the matrix.
98+
99+
### Labels Page
100+
101+
This page contains the matrix labels table.
