The Soletek radio has the rssi in a oid that changes depending on what frequency you are bridging with so if you specify the entire oid you would need to build a probe for every frequency or every radio pair but you can use oid_column to specify the unique part of the oid and have a single probe that works on every radio.
Note: When snmp walking Soletek rssi the tool dosn’t interpret the value correctly and shows 4billion instead of a negative number.
Also the Solotek mib would not compile into the dude mib database so the oid 1.3.6.1.4.1.2890 has no descriptions.
The function is return the rssi or False.
Name: w_rssi_s
Code: if(oid_column(“1.3.6.1.4.1.2890.7.6.2.1.5.6.0”, 10 ,5),oid_column(“1.3.6.1.4.1.2890.7.6.2.1.5.6.0”, 10 ,5),“False”)
The probe graphs the value or gives an error or complains that the device is unreachable.
Name: rssi_soletek
type: Function
Available: w_rssi_s()<>“False”
Error: if(w_rssi_s()<>“False”, if(w_rssi_s(),“”, concatenate("Bridge Trouble = ", w_rssi_s())) , “Can not read status of Soletek bridge”)
Value: w_rssi_s()
unit dbm
Put [w_rssi_s()] on your Soletek device label after creating the function and the probe and you will always have a quick reference of your signal level.
