Alarm conditions
To configure an alarm, click on it. The configuration page for individual alarms has two sections:
Alarm Conditions: For specifying the conditions on which the alarm is based, such as serial
data pattern matching or data usage.
Alarm Destinations: For specifying how the alarm is sent, either as an email message or an
SNMP trap, or both, and where the alarm is sent.
Alarm conditions
The Alarm Conditions part of the page is for specifying the conditions on which the alarm is based.
Alarm conditions include:
Send alarms based on serial data pattern matching: Click this radio button to specify that
this alarm is sent when the specified serial data pattern is detected. Then specify the following:
Serial Port: The serial port to monitor for the data pattern. This field is displayed for devices
where more than one serial port is available.
Pattern: An alarm is sent when the serial port receives this data pattern. Special characters such
as carriage return carriage return (\r) and new line (\n) in the data pattern can be included.
Alarm destinations
The Alarm Destination part of the page defines how alarm notifications are sent—either as an email
message or an SNMP trap, or both—and where the alarm notification is sent.
Alarm Type: Specify the alarm type to be sent. [none|email|snmptrap|all]
Alarm Description: The text to be included in the Subject: line of the alarm-notification email
or SNMP traps description.
To: The email address to which this alarm notification email message will be sent.
CC: The email address to which a copy of this alarm notification email message will be sent
(optional).
Priority: The priority of the alarm notification email message.
Send SNMP trap to the following destination when alarm occurs: If the Alarm Type is set
as snmptrap or all and if the Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap option
is enabled on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Settings of System
Configuration, then the IP address of the destination for the SNMP traps will be displayed as
the destination on this section automatically.
