In a perfect scenario, a DCS requires only the "start/stop" and "set generated MW" commands from the operator. But in reality, more control and monitoring is required. The DCS does a lot of small things inside. Those actions also take time to complete as we are speaking about a fast-...
The SNMP Engine ID is always twelve octets in length. The first four octets identify an enterprise. E.g.: Cisco is '9', IBM is '2'. The mapping is publicly available IANA Engine IDS. The remaining eight octets are left for the enterprise to specify. The fifth octet specifies the forma...
