prvtPolarity

Module: PRVT-DRY-CONTACTS-MIB

OID (symbolic): PRVT-DRY-CONTACTS-MIB::prvtPolarity

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.112.1.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Configured polarity. An enumeration with 2 values: normally-opened(1), normally-closed(2). This object is only for T-Metro 200 ES platform. Default value is normally-opened(1). Read-write

What is prvtPolarity?

This object configures whether the physical dry-contact circuit is normally-opened(1) or normally-closed(2) in its resting state, which determines what a change in circuit state means; this setting applies only on the T-Metro 200 ES platform. An admin sets this to match the wiring of the connected sensor, since a normally-closed sensor and a normally-open one would otherwise report alarm and no-alarm states backwards. For example, setting this to normally-closed(2) for a sensor wired so its contact opens on the alarm condition ensures prvtAlarmStatus correctly flips to alarm(2) when that happens.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.112.1.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-DRY-CONTACTS-MIB::prvtPolarity

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.112.1.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PRVT-DRY-CONTACTS-MIB::prvtPolarity.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.738.1.5.112.1.1.1.8.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> prvtPolarity.1
