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 list 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 list 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 list, 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.
