How to Configure Individual Events continued

Event mask

Use the codes identified in the following table to configure an event. For

 

example, to configure the UPS on battery event, as follows:

 

• To configure it as a severe event, change the 1st character to 3.

 

• To log the event, and send traps to trap receivers 1 and 2,

 

change the 2nd character to B.

 

• To disable traps to receivers 3 and 4, and disable Email recipi-

 

ents 1 and 2, change the 3rd character to 0.

 

• To send Email only to Email recipient 3, change the 4th charac-

 

ter to 8.

 

 

Note: The result would be a code of 3B0800.
