SNMP Adapter User’s Guide
Events
The Events settings page allows you customize PowerAlert’s response to power events or abnormal conditions on the device. A sample list of events is shown below. Note: Available events vary by device.
To select an event, click on it. The available actions for that event will appear on the right side of the screen. No check in the checkbox indicates that the action is turned off. Click on the box to enable the action, then click on the settings button to configure settings for the action. (See Figure 4-6.)
Available Actions
Shutdown—Turns the UPS off after a defined period of time when the specified event occurs.
Notification—Sends an email message to a person in your contact list.
SNMP—Sends an SNMP trap to an IP address.

Contacts
The Contact Settings Menu allows you to set up email and SNMP notification destinations for events. (See Figure 4-7.)
Email—To configure email it is necessary to set up both the SMTP server and the email address to be messaged when specified events occur.
SMTP Settings—Click on the SMTP Settings buttons to define an email server. A new window will appear that will let you define the address of the SMTP server and the port to use. (Most email servers run on port 25, however, please contact your network administrator to verify the SMTP settings of your server). The email address may be an IP address (e.g.192.168.1.1) or a domain name (e.g. smtp.server.com). To use the domain name, it is necessary to configure the DNS sever in the Settings-Network- TCP\IP menu.
