Trap Dial-Out
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Controls whether SNMP trap messages initiate a call automatically. If the call cannot be
completed and the Call Retry option is set to Enable, the SNMP trap message is held
(queued) until the call completes to either the Alarm or alternate directory.
NOTE: When the modem port is configured as a network communication link, up to 10
SNMP trap messages are held at the port.
Enable Automatically calls the phone number contained in the Control menu’s Modem
Call Directories, Directory Number A (Alarm).
Disable – Automatic calls will not be initiated. Traps sent to the modem are held until a
dial-in connection is established.
Trap Disconnect
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Enable
Determines whether the internal modem disconnects after the SNMP trap message has
been sent. This configuration option only applies to modem connections initiated as a
result of sending the SNMP trap message.
Enable – Disconnects the call after sending an SNMP trap message(s).
Disable – Does not disconnect the call and holds the line until it is disconnected manually
or by the remote modem. This allows the NMS to poll the FrameSaver unit for more
information after receiving an SNMP trap.
Call Retry
Possible Settings: Enable, Disable
Default Setting: Disable
Controls whether an incomplete call (busy, no answer, etc.) is retried when an SNMP trap
message is sent to the modem port.
If an Alternate Dial-Out Directory is specified, the alarm directory’s telephone number is
called first. If the call cannot be completed, then the alternate directory’s telephone
number is called (see the Control menu’s Modem Call Directories).
Enable – Attempts to retry the call, up to one time per SNMP trap message, with a delay
between the retry. The delay is specified by the Dial-Out Delay Time (Min) configuration
option.
Disable – Does not retry an incomplete call.
Dial-Out Delay TIme (Min)
Possible Settings: 1 – 10
Default Setting: 5
Specifies the amount of time between call retries when an SNMP trap message is sent;
the wait between call attempts (see the Call Retry option).
1 – 10 – Sets the number of minutes for the delay between call retry attempts.
