apexInsertionMode

Module: APEX-MIB

OID (symbolic): APEX-MIB::apexInsertionMode

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.12.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This parameter is used to set the insertion mode for the APEX. The APEX may be configured to insert messages as efficiently as possible (efficient) or restrict insertion to a single section starting per packet (singleSection).

Once written, the change to this parameter will take immediate effect. However, in order for the change to persist through subsequent reboots or power cycles, the change must be saved via the apexSaveConfig parameter.

@Config(config=yes, reboot=no) @Save(apexSaveConfig, value=2) @File(config.ini, type='ini')

What is apexInsertionMode?

Controls how the APEX device inserts messages into transport stream packets, choosing between an efficient mode that maximizes throughput or a single-section-per-packet mode for stricter packing. Changes to this setting take effect after the next apply cycle.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.12.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> APEX-MIB::apexInsertionMode

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.12.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> APEX-MIB::apexInsertionMode.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1166.1.31.12.1.1.1.1 i <value>
