# Setting the Volt Input Source Using SNMP

### Scope

This document details how to setup the Volt to change the input source via SNMP.

### Description

The Volt's input source can be changed via SNMP using the "voltCurrentInput" parameter.

### Procedure

First set a "Community" name in the Volt's SNMP webpage. Here I set it to "MarkDesk":

Enter that same community name for "Write Community" in your MIB browser:

Now when I right-click on "voltCurrentInput", I can select "Set" without error and then type the input I would like to change to in the "Value" box. In this example, I used Analog:

> [!WARNING]
> When setting the input be sure to type input names correctly. Choices are Analog, AES/EBU and Livewire.

After clicking "OK", the input changes and I see this confirmation in my MIB Browser:
