The virtual vine-covered halls of SBE
University have another informative course to offer its student engineers, “Use
of the Simple Network Management Protocol in Broadcast Monitoring and Control
Systems.”
As information technology becomes more
involved in broadcast, it is only natural that a basic protocol such as SNMP
would become the subject of SBE education. SNMP is popular as an information
delivery method used in monitoring devices and in the issue of emergency
messages.
The course is a “101”-style course with an
introduction and overview goal. A release says, “The course describes how SNMP
works, including the structure and types of SNMP messages, how they are transported
over the network, and how they can be used to monitor and control remote
equipment.”
Furthermore it adds, “Students will learn
about the data distant equipment might return, and how best to integrate it
into an overall facility control plan. Also covered are the types of equipment
that support SNMP communications, as well as using the protocol for
site-to-site communications.”
The professor is Tony
Peterle, CSRE. Many know Tony, who these days works for WorldCast Systems. Cost
of the course is $65 for early bird SBE members, $85 for the late risers and
$105 for nonmembers.
