points are recorded in the minute log. To alter this
method of averaging, change the value to one of the
values listed in the drop down menu. Zero or one
maintains the method described above; a higher
value changes the method of averaging and the
manner by which high and low values are recorded.
An example of how averaging is altered and how it
impacts high and low recordings is shown here.
• Analog averaging value is set to 5.
• The analog point is a temperature sensor.
• Temperature readings are displayed for an
eleven second period:
Under normal conditions, the average reading would
equal 71, the high value would equal 74, and the low
value would equal 70. By changing the averaging
method, the average reading ends up at 73, the
high value at 73, and the low value for this example
remains the same. In a sense, averaging slows down
the sensor response and the rate of change. This
parameter impacts all analog points.
Persistent Traps enables the Falcon to issue
continuous SNMP alarm traps until an Alarm
Acknowledgement is received by the Falcon. The
parameter is a user-defined time interval that is set
in minutes.
Analog Trap Varbinds is for communication
to a NMS via the SNMP traps. The default will
add the value/UOM (unit of measure)/label. If

preferred, the Falcon can send only the label on
Analog traps.
Falcon Trap Types is set by default to send an
alarm entry added type trap. The Trap type can be
set to a Port Type Trap.
Communities identify computers that receive
SNMP traps from the Falcon and interact with the
Falcon over the network. To add a computer to
the communities list, select a community number
posted as “empty.” Enter the receiving computer’s
IP address and a string that identifies
the computer. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 in the
Communities > IP Address field allows any
computer to access the Falcon through an MIB
browser or RLENet. Check the box next to write
if the machine will have read/write network access
- this allows the computer to be configured over
the network. Check the box next to traps if the
computer will receive traps.
