Setting up Email Alerts and SNMP Traps

After you have created the GPIO and/or Serial Port alerts and traps, you can the use the SX-560 internal web pages to set up the recipient Email addresses and/or computer systems. After you have logged into the internal web pages, click Alerts and Traps on the left side of the screen and select either Email Alerts or SNMP IP Traps. The Email Alert Configuration screen is shown below.

This screen allows you to define up to eight Email addresses that can receive alert information. Each address can receive any combination of the alerts that you have defined previously. You must enter the IP address of your SMTP server and the Email address(es) where you want the alerts to go, and you must check the S1 or S2 box (Use on Port). For example, in the above screen, the user has configured two serial port alerts and two GPIO alerts. He has decided to send one of the serial port alerts and one of the GPIO alerts to the mail address admin@companyxyz.com. If desired, he could create up to seven more Email addresses that could each receive any combination of these alerts.

The SNMP Trap Configuration page works exactly the same way as the Email Alert Configuration page, except that you enter the Trap Community plus the IP address and port of the destination computer(s) instead of the Email information. Up to eight separate IP addresses can be configured with any combination of the alerts that you have defined. Note that you may also use the console command SET IP TRAP n TRIGGER console command (see appendix B) to set up the traps.

When you have finished configuring the alerts, be sure to click the Submit button to save the settings. You will also need to restart the SX-560 in order for the changes to take effect.

Using AT Modem Commands

The SX-560 firmware has an optional data filter for configuring using AT style modem commands with serial port 1. This feature allows devices with an existing AT command interface to configure the unit, if the AT commands can be properly modified. You must be familiar with the general operation of AT commands. Note that AT command processing is not enabled by default. Use the command SET PORT S1 FILTER AT to enable this feature.

All commands begin with AT and are terminated by a new line unless noted below. While standard AT commands are defined to be 40 characters or less (not including the AT), the server accepts commands of up to 80 characters.
