GE Industrial Solutions Pulsar Plus Controller - Manual (Page 192)

Pulsar Plus Controller Family
Issue 7 December 2011 192
Get - Allows the SNMP Host to retrieve a value from the SNMP Agent.
GetNext - Allows the SNMP Host to retrieve the next value in sequence from a table or list of variables in the
SNMP Agent.
Set - Allows the SNMP Host to set a value within the SNMP Agent.
Trap - Used by the SNMP Agent (the power system controller) to asynchronously inform the SNMP Host of
an event such as an alarm notification. Unlike the other operations, the trap does not require a response
from the host. The SNMP Agent must be configured with appropriate addresses of the SNMP Host.
SNMP Configuration
SNMP functionality is always available. No enabling or disabling of the feature is required. Appropriate trap
destinations and assignments of specific alarms must be configured for SNMP to properly send out Traps.
Users can configure these SNMP parameters from the browser interface. They may also be configured from
a Telnet command line interface.
Configuration of the IP addresses for Trap destinations is performed under the “Network” link under the
main configuration “Settings” tab. The controller supports up to four different destinations for SNMP
messages. Each destination (1 through 4) is configured with an IP address. The sample screen for this
configuration follows.
Individual alarms or events are assigned as Traps to one of the four specific SNMP destinations. Assignment
of the alarm and events is performed under the “Alarm Notification” link under the main configuration
“Settings” tab. The sample screen for this configuration follows.
