Address field of the web browser to access the DSView 3 software.
Trap
Destinations
The DSView 3 server polls KVM switches or serial console appliances to determine if they
are responding. If the managed appliance does not respond, the DSView 3 server sends an
SNMP Loss Of Communication (LCM) trap or alert to the external SNMP manager. When
the DSView 3 server detects that the appliance is once again communicating, a Regained
Communication (RCM) trap is sent from the DSView 3 software server.
When a response change occurs during communication between the DSView 3 server and
a managed appliance, the DSView 3 software writes the event to the event log and sends
an SNMP trap to the configured trap destinations.
Trap destinations may also be specified by clicking on a managed appliance and changing
the SNMP appliance settings.
