SNMP
The unit detects and reports T1 alarms and provides several options for
reporting them, one of which is SNMP traps. When a network alarm occurs,
the unit sends a trap message to as many as eight destinations on your
network. The unit will report each alarm by transmitting an SNMP “trap” to
each non-zero Trap IP address.
SNMP Details Screen
The SNMP Details screen (Figure 4.42) lets you configure the SNMP
parameters described in the paragraphs below.
