SNMP

An Access option (Settings in the control console) enables (by default) or disables SNMP. When SNMP is enabled, the Access Control settings allow you to control how each of the four available SNMP channels is used.

To define up to four NMSs as trap receivers, see Trap Receivers; to use SNMP to manage a UPS or an environmental monitor, see the PowerNet® SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)

Reference Guide (.\doc\en\mibguide.pdf) on the APC Battery Management System Utility CD.
