Each trap contains a description of the alarm condition. Up to 10 trap receivers can be entered. The trap receiver must have the APC PowerNet MIB (version 3.6.1 or later). The latest version of the PowerNet MIB can be downloaded from www.apc.com.

Enable SNMP: Enable the SNMP functionality by selecting this checkbox.

To add a new trap receiver, press the Add New button, type in the address and specify the minimum severity of alarm. All entries will appear in red until Apply Changes is pressed.

To edit or delete a trap receiver, select the recipient from the recipient list, and then choose to either update or delete them.

Configure the Remote Monitoring Service Settings screen. The APC Remote Monitoring Service (RMS) is an APC professional service which securely monitors the customer’s Network-

Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) from a

remote 24x7 operation center, responding to events according to a pre-defined customer

escalation procedure. Go to http://rms.apc.com to learn more about this service.

The APC Remote Monitoring Service uses the HTTP protocol to post information to its

database. If a proxy server is used for Internet connection, then the required proxy server port settings must be specified (a proxy server acts as an agent between a workstation user or other networked device and the Internet to regulate security, administrative control and caching).
