55.4.1 S (Status)
Displays device status. A green checkmark indicates that
the device is active. A red cross indicates that the device
is not communicating or is no longer connected to the
network. Devices with an inactive status will be
removed from the list by a Display Refresh (F5)
operation.
55.4.2 MAC Address
Displays the globally unique (Ethernet MAC) address
for each discovered device. Ethernet MAC addresses
are assigned to devices at manufacture and do not
change.
55.4.3 IP Address
Displays the network (IP) address assigned to each
device. CobraNet devices initially have an IP address of
0.0.0.0. by default. CobraNet Discovery will assign
unique IP addresses to each device when Enable Auto
Assignment is checked in the Options dialog (see 55.7).
Once an IP address has been assigned to a device,
information in the SNMP columns (described below)
will be updated.
55.4.4 SNMP columns
Additional columns may be added to the Discovery
window by right-clicking on the column header and/or
by using the Column Chooser dialog. These columns
correspond to SNMP variables. The variables specified
are monitored on the CobraNet devices and updated in
real time in the Discovery display.
SNMP variables on CobraNet devices are described in
detail in the CobraNet Programmer's Reference
Manual. All SNMP variables described therein are
available for monitoring by entering the specified
Object Identifier (OID) in the Add dialog from Column
Chooser.
Some of the SNMP variables available for monitoring in
a default CobraNet Discovery installation are
documented below.
sysDescription
Displays the full name and firmware version of each
discovered device.
errorCount
Displays the number of errors that have occurred on the
device since the CobraNet Discovery application was
started or the display manually reset. Some errors result
from normal operation, i.e. re-routing audio,
disconnecting/reconnecting Ethernet cables.
errorCode
Reason for the last error reported. errorCode values are
documented in the Error Codes section at the back of
the CobraNet Programmer's Reference Manual.
ifInErrors
Count of physical errors and packet data detected by
the Ethernet receiver. Physical errors are most
frequently the result of bad wiring.
Rx1 through Rx4
Bundle receiver status. CobraNet devices typically have
four bundle receivers. These four variables show the
status of each receiver.
Three metrics are displayed separated by slashes (/).
The three values are as follows:
• Bundle number (rxBundle)
• Receive status (rxStatus). Shows 1 if audio data is
being received, or 0 if not. The most common reason
for not receiving is that there is no transmitter
sending that bundle.
• Receive dropouts (rxDropouts). Counts the transitions
from receiving to not receiving. Ongoing dropouts
may indicate network problems although dropouts
also occur when audio is intentionally re-routed.
Tx1 through Tx4
Bundle transmitter status. CobraNet devices typically
have four bundle transmitters. These four variables
show the status of each transmitter.
Three metrics are displayed separated by slashes (/).
The three values are as follows:
• Bundle number (txBundle)
• Number of receivers being served by this transmitter
(txReceivers).
• Transmit dropouts (txDropouts). Counts the
transitions from transmitting to not transmitting.
Ongoing dropouts may indicate network problems
although dropouts also occur when audio is
intentionally interrupted and re-routed.
