Operation Manual

Admin General Tab

The Admin General Tab includes the following parameters:

 Card Name: This field defaults to the model name (B264, B264 or ITV-B264d) but

can be set to any descriptive name. The name provided here will also appear in the

Dashboard™ Tree View.

 SNMP Traps: This allows SNMP traps to be enabled or disabled

. Note that this

setting does not take effect immediately – it will become active the next time the card is

rebooted.

 MIB File Download: The B264 provides an up-to-date copy of its MIBs. If you click

on the Save button, a zip file with the relevant MIBs will be downloaded to your

computer. This zip file contains the card MIBs, as well as the Ross Video and

openGear® MIBs required to compile the card MIBs.

The Admin General Tab is depicted below:

Admin Firmware Tab

The B264 can hold up to three distinct firmware images: a Factory image, and two upgrade

images, called Image 1 and Image 2. The Factory image can never be overwritten, and will

always be available as a fall-back in case of problems or failed updates. Image 1 and Image 2

can be updated at will. Since the card offers two upgrade images, it is always possible to fall

back to the previous image if there are any problems with the current one. The card will also

automatically fall back to the factory image if it detects a corrupted firmware image. Finally, the

push buttons on the front of the card allow for a forced override to the factory image, as

described in the Front Switches section.

B264 firmware is updated in the same fashion as with any standard openGear® card. Once you

obtained the upgrade image from Niagara Video, place it anywhere in your computer and click

on the Upload button, as shown below. A dialog box allows you to select the upgrade file. Note

that you can simultaneously upgrade all of your B264 cards over multiple chassis if you wish.

Software. The Dashboard manual can be downloaded from:

SNMP is an optional feature in the openGear™ frame controller. The MVN-EN460 SNMP functions are only

available if SNMP is licensed in the frame controller. SNMP is always enabled in the ITV-EN460c.
