Create an SNMP Library for the Custom Device

This procedure covers how to create an SNMP library for the custom device by cloning the structure of the L1-Headquarter SNMP library. If you want to manually create the structure of the library, see Manually Creating a New Library.

 

  • You are authorized to handle libraries for the specific customization level (L4-Project, L3-Country, or L2-Region) where you want to create the customized SNMP library.
  1. In System Browser, select Project > System Settings > Libraries > L1-Headquarter > Global > SNMP.
  • The Library Configurator tab displays.
  1. Click Customize the entire library to a lower level .
  • A confirmation message displays.
  1. Click OK.
  • The structure of the selected library is cloned under the allowed customization level (for example, L4-Project > Global > SNMP).
  • Version indicates the version of your SNMP library.
    The major version identifies the independent library versions related to the same device. For example, if the SNMP device will change in future thus requiring modification of the SNMP library (new DPTs or new DPEs added to an existing DPT), you can create a new major library version that will be used for those new SNMP devices only. The minor version is used instead to identify any library upgrade or maintenance activities (such as, new symbols, update of text groups, and so on).
  • Dependencies indicate the libraries from which the SNMP library depends. If you modify the dependencies by adding libraries to this list, the SNMP library cannot be imported in the project if the libraries in the list are not installed.
