Chapter 6. Basic Configuration

Trap sending function

Select if trap sending (at boot and failed SNMP authentication) should be On or Off.

Trap receiver

Enter the IP address, or a name in the DNS, of the server to which the Telecommuting Module should send traps. If you enter a DNS name instead of an IP address, you must enter the IP address of a DNS server on the Basic Configuration page.

IP address shows the IP address of the DNS Name Or IP Address you entered in the previous field.

Community

Enter the password (community) which the Telecommuting Module should use when sending traps. The community is sent unencrypted over the network.

Version

Select the SNMP version to be used for traps. You can select v1 or v2c.

Delete Row

If you select this box, the row is deleted when you click on Create new rows, Save, or Look up all IP addresses again.

Create

Enter the number of new rows you want to add to the table, and then click on Create.

Resource Monitoring

Your Telecommuting Module can send SNMP traps when usage passes certain levels. Set the levels here. The trap receivers are configured in the SNMP Traps table.

For each usage, there is an Alarm by and a Resume by level. When the usage hits the Alarm by level, the Telecommuting Module sends a trap about this and locks the trap sending for that usage, which means that as long as the level stays high, no more traps are sent. When the level goes down to below the Resume by level, the lock is released. Next time the Alarm by level is reached, a new trap is sent.

To avoid excessive trap sending, it is recommended that the Alarm by and Resume by levels for a resource are not set too close.
