process receives events and sends alarms in ASCII format to a communications
port on the Logger. Once the SERIALFD process is started, alarm messages are
sent to the communications port as they occur.
The Serial Alarm Feed consists of a series of alarm messages that are sent out over
a 9600 baud serial connection. The Alarm Messages are formatted as shown in
Table 7-1.
Note that all the fields in Table 7-1 are delimited by a single SPACE character. All
fields are variable length.
You can find information about specific traps in the ICM Management
Information Base (MIB). The MIB correlates to the driving table used by the
Customer Support Forwarding Service (CSFS). You can look up each trap number
in the MIB to see the descriptions and appropriate ASN.1 syntax used to generate
the SNMP traps.
Note Refer to the section “SNMP Feed” for more information about the ICM MIB.
