Rule number simply tells you where you're at on the list of OID maps. Click "next" and "prev" to scroll through the list. To advance directly to a specific map, enter the desired number in the "Showing" box, then click Update.

Rules entered on this page only write data to remote devices. Go to the Client Read Map to read data from those devices. The full parameter set is different for read versus write.

An abbreviated version of a list of rules is shown on this page. Any of the parameters shown may be changed here and registered by clicking the Update button. To view and/or modify the complete set of parameters, click on the map number in the left most column.

Important note about data type: SNMP does not have a universally accepted representation for floating point. The most commonly used means of representing real data is scaled integers, and this method is supported by the DM2-MOD. IEEE 754 is not recognized as an SNMP standard and is not used. X.690 defines an encoding for real data, but it is inefficient and little used. A common recommendation is to use ASCII string representation of floating point data, and this method is supported by DM2-MOD (Octet String Num). Another known but application specific implementation is the ASN OPAQUE FLOAT used in netsnmp applications. This method is also supported by DM2-MOD but should be tested to confirm compatibility.

Selecting "none" for remote type effectively deletes the rule even though it will still appear in the list until deleted. Unused rules at the end of the list will always show none as the type.
