SNMP Traps Screen

Trap Community Name (Modifiable)

Displays the Community Name included in the trap message sent to the Network Management Station with the associated IP address.

Enable Traps (Toggle)

Enables transmission of the traps to the network management station with the associated IP address. This field toggles between YES and NO.

5.17.1 Configuring the Trap Table

To configure the Trap table, proceed as follows:

1.Using the arrow keys, highlight the appropriate Trap Destination field.

2.Enter the IP Address of the workstation that is to receive traps. IP address entries must follow the DDN format.

For example: 134.141.79.121

3.Press ENTER. If an invalid entry is made, “INVALID IP ENTERED” is displayed in the Event Message Line.

4.Using the arrow keys, highlight the Trap Community Name field. Enter the community name.

5.Press ENTER.

6.Using the arrow keys, highlight the Enable Traps field. Press the SPACE bar to choose either YES (send alarms from the module to the workstation), or NO (prevent alarms from being sent).

7.Using the arrow keys, highlight the SAVE option and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays.

NOTE

Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED -- PRESS SAVE TO KEEP CHANGES” message to display in the top left portion of the screen. Edits will be lost if they are not saved before exiting.

The designated workstations now receive traps from the 6H12X-08.
