Alarm Response Outputs

Alarm Response Outputs display the current settings for handling alarm notification via SYSLOG/SNMP messages. To change how the SYSLOG/SNMP function notifies remote users of an alarm, refer to “Modify Response—Configuring the alarm response system” on page 27.

Alarm Syslog Priority (syslogAlarmPriority)

Displays the SYSLOG priority of the alarm SYSLOG message. If the minimum priority for SYSLOG daemon (set under the System Log link) is less than this value, the SYSLOG daemon will receive the major or critical alarm SYSLOG message.

Alarm SNMP Trap IP 1 (alarmTrapIp0)

The IP address of a host system which is running the SNMP trap daemon. Critical and major alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a major alarm.

Alarm SNMP Trap IP 2 (alarmTrapIp1)

The IP address of a host system which is running the SNMP trap daemon. Critical and major alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a major alarm.

Alarm SNMP Trap IP 3 (alarmTrapIp2)

The IP address of a host system which is running the SNMP trap daemon. Critical and major alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a major alarm.

Alarm SNMP Trap IP 4 (alarmTrapIp3)

The IP address of a host system which is running the SNMP trap daemon. Critical and major alarm messages will be sent to the system. If set to 0.0.0.0 then no trap message will be sent in response to a major alarm.

If the box registers a temperature greater than this temperature an alarm will be reported. Temperature is reported in degrees Celsius.

Displays the current temperature in Celsius.
