4.4.6 Configuring Modem Traps

Traps are conditions that require management attention, and are routed and recorded via software
to the Network Manager. This could be, for example, an SNMP-based management system set up
by the plant system administrator. Traps are logged, compiled and saved, viewed via software
screens, and are not sent electronically to alarm relays for shop-wide notification.

Note: The Trap feature requires SNMP.


The System Configuration screen provides a path to a menu allowing the operator to specify
which conditions will generate a trap notification.

To set Modem Traps:

1. From the Main Menu, type "1" and press Enter, to open the System Configuration screen

2. Type "3" to open the Link Level Trap Configuration screen (See Figure 30).

3. The Link Level Trap Configuration screen appears. There are eight configurable alarm states,

listed by number.

Note: For options 2 through 8 to be available, option 1 must be set to "Enabled."

4. To configure a particular trap, begin by typing its number in the list and pressing Enter

5. Use the space bar to toggle through trap choices: Enabled and Disabled

6. In an enabled state, a trap condition (such as Inactive Link or Power Supply Malfunction),

will cause notification to be sent to the Network Manager. Trap conditions are also recorded
by the DMM and viewable via software screens.
