Secondary Host

If the IOLAN cannot communicate with the primary host, then the IOLAN will

 

attempt to send system log messages to this preconfigured host; messages will

 

be displayed on the host’s monitor.

 

Default: None

Level

Choose the event level that triggers a syslog entry.

 

Data Options: Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Info, Debug

Management

SNMP

Overview

If you are using SNMP to manage/configure the IOLAN, or to view statistics or traps, you must set up a User in SNMP version 3 or a Community in SNMP version 1,2 to allow your SNMP manager to connect to the IOLAN; this can be done in the DeviceManager, WebManager, CLI, or Menu. You must then load the perle-ds.MIB(found on the CD-ROM packaged with the IOLAN) file into your SNMP manager before you connect to the IOLAN.

Note: Ensure that the SNMP service found in the Security, Services page is enabled (by default it is enabled).

Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Contact

The name and contract information of the person who manages this SMNP

 

node.

Location

The physical location of the SNMP node.

Community

The name of the group that devices and management stations running SNMP

 

belong to.
