Table 4-15. SNMP Traps and Trap Dial-Out Options (4 of 5)

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.
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M.
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 COM port-connected 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.
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M.
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
If an alternate dial-out directory is specified (see Alternate Dial-Out Directory), 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).
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M.
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 Call Retry).
Display Conditions
– This option does not appear for Model 9820-45M.
1 – 10 – Sets the number of minutes for the delay between call retry attempts
(inclusive).
