SNMP
The AmpMeter PDU family of products supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). This allows network management systems to use SNMP requests to retrieve information and control power for the individual outlets.
The AmpMeter PDU includes an SNMP v1 agent supporting standard MIB I and MIB II objects.
NOTE: For security, SNMP support is disabled by default.

To set the trap destination:
At the AmpMeter PDU: prompt, type set snmp, trapdest1 or trapdest2, the Ipaddress and press Enter.
Example
The following sets the trap destination 1 to 64.42.31.208:
AmpMeter PDU: set snmp trapdest1 64.42.31.208<Enter>
To reset the trap destination:
