Liebert EM manual SNMP Trap Alerts Setup

Getting Started With the Web Interface

5.5.3SNMP Trap Alerts Setup

The OpenComms EM may be configured to send SNMP trap alerts to a computer whenever the status of a sensor changes from normal to a warning or critical state, as well as a return-to-normal alert when the reading falls within the normal range. These alerts may be sent to up to four IP addresses, typically Network Management Station (NMS).

If you activate SNMP traps, see also 5.7.2 - SNMP Information.

To generate SNMP traps when a sensor reading crosses a threshold, log in (see 5.1 - Open the Web Interface and Log In) and:

•Click on the SNMP Traps tab at the top of the Web interface, as shown below.
