12. SNMP Traps
SNMP is an acronym for "Simple Network Management Protocol". The SNMP Trap
function allows the Outlet Managed PDU to send Alarm Notication messages to
two different SNMP managers, each time one of the Alarms discussed in Section 7 is
triggered.
Note:
• The SNMP feature cannot be configured via the SNMP Manager.
• SNMP reading ability is limited to the System Group.
• The SNMP feature includes the ability to be polled by an SNMP
Manager.
• Once SNMP Trap Parameters have been defined, SNMP Traps will
be sent each time an Alarm is triggered. For more information on
Alarm Configuration, please refer to Section 7.
12.1. Configuration:
To congure the SNMP Trap function, proceed as follows:
1. Access command mode using an account that permits Administrator level
commands.
2. SNMP Trap Parameters: Access the SNMP Trap Parameters Menu as
described in Section 5.9.7. Set the following:
a) SNMP Managers 1 and 2: The address(es) that will receive SNMP
Traps that are generated by one of the Alarms discussed in Section 7.
Consult your network administrator to determine the IP address(es) for
the SNMP Manager(s), then use the Network Parameters menu to set
the IP address for each SNMP Manager. Note that it is not necessary to
dene both SNMP Managers.
Note:
To enable the SNMP Trap feature, you must define at least one
SNMP Manager. SNMP Traps are automatically enabled when at
least one SNMP Manager has been defined.

the Network Parameters menus to set the Trap Community.
Once SNMP Trap Parameters have been dened, the Outlet Managed PDU will send
