Default Gateway

The default gateway is the IP address of

(nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn)

the router or other equipment on the local

 

network segment that is used to direct

 

traffic to and from the segment. Obtain an

 

appropriate value from your network

 

administrator.

Enable RIP?

Initially Yes appears on the screen. Press

 

the space bar to toggle to No. Yes allows

 

the terminal server to direct routers on the

 

local network segment to use it as the

 

gateway to devices connected to the

 

terminal server via PPP.

Network-Loss Alarm Delay

Enter a time in seconds, from 0 to 255. If

Time

no network activity is detected for longer

 

than the specified amount of time, the

 

terminal server will generate a .NETDOWN

 

alarm.

Overview of SNMP Support by Terminal Servers

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol for network management. It allows compliant devices to be configured and/or to send error messages to Network Management software packages.

The terminal server can send SNMP traps based on alarm conditions detected in host devices or in the terminal server itself. Any alarm condition that can be listed in the Action Table can be sent to a management system via an SNMP Trap. Thus, the terminal server acts as an SNMP trap proxy agent for devices that deliver alarms via asynchronous RS-232 communication, via contact closures, or other non-network mechanisms.
