2.The index number and description of the event with which the action or actions will be associated is displayed in the Event: field at the top of the window. Information in this field is not editable; to assign actions to a different event, double-click on the correct event in the Events Watch list; both the Create/Edit Events and Create/Edit Actions windows will update accordingly.

3.The Description field is not currently editable; future releases of NetSight Element Manager will allow you to assign a descriptive label to each set of actions.

4.To select the Variable whose value you wish to SET, use the MIB Tree panel provided on the right side of the window. (For more information about how to use the MIB Tree panel, see the MIB Tools chapter in the Tools Guide.) Use the scroll bars and click to open the appropriate folders in the MIB Tree panel to locate the object you wish you use; click to select it in the panel, and its name will automatically be entered in the Variable field.

If you select an invalid OID — that is, one which does not permit write access — the

TIP message !!Can’t set action on this type!! will be displayed in the Variable field.

If you don’t know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable, and you can’t find it by searching through the tree, use the MIB Tool Find feature to locate the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more information on the MIB Tool utility and its Find capabilities, see the MIB Tools chapter in the Tools Guide. The Find feature is not case-sensitive.
