SNMP General Settings fields
To edit the SNMP General Settings fields, ensure that the SNMP Enabled checkbox is
selected (SNMP is disabled by default). Click the Submit button to save all changes or the
Cancel button to abandon changes.
SNMP Community Name fields — The two names are similar to passwords, granting
public, read-only [SNMP (rd)] and private, read-write access [SNMP (wrt)] to the NMS. The
default names are public and private.
Contact Name and Location fields — The two fields add optional information as to the
location of the NMS. By default, Not Specified is assigned to the Name and Location fields.
SNMP Port field — This field identifies the port that the NMS uses to communicate with
the switcher and should only be changed by IT personnel. The default port is 161.
SNMP Manager (Trap Target) fields
To edit each row of the SNMP Manager (Trap Target) settings, click the Edit button to make
the fields available for editing. The button changes to Save. After editing the associated
settings, click the Save button.
The three IP Address fields identify up to three NMS targets to receive trap notifications of
the switcher failure and repair status or a mix of trap types to the same target.
The check boxes and drop boxes associated with each IP address field permit the operator
to specify specific criteria under which the switcher sends trap notifications.
• In the associated Missing Input drop boxes, select the inputs to trap the presence or
absence of a signal.
• Check the Fans and Power boxes to trap the fans and power supplies.
• In the associated Notification Options drop box, select whether to notify the target
of failures, fixes, both, not notified, or to remove the target from trap list (select Delete
SNMP Target). The Suspend option is useful for temporarily removing NMS stations
from the notification list when they are unavailable.
