Trap sending function

Select if trap sending (at boot and failed SNMP authentication) should be On or Off.

Trap receiver

Enter the IP address, or a name in the DNS, of the server to which the Telecommuting

Module should send traps. If you enter a DNS name instead of an IP address, you must enter

the IP address of a DNS server on the Basic Conﬁguration page.

IP address shows the IP address of the DNS Name Or IP Address you entered in the

previous ﬁeld.

Community

Enter the password (community) which the Telecommuting Module should use when send-

ing traps. The community is sent unencrypted over the network.

Version

Select the SNMP version to be used for traps. You can select v1 or v2c.

Delete Row

If you select this box, the row is deleted when you click on Create new rows, Save, or Look

up all IP addresses again.

Create

Enter the number of new rows you want to add to the table, and then click on Create.

Resource Monitoring

Your Telecommuting Module can send SNMP traps when usage passes certain levels. Set

the levels here. The trap receivers are conﬁgured in the SNMP Traps table.

For each usage, there is an Alarm by and a Resume by level. When the usage hits the Alarm

by level, the Telecommuting Module sends a trap about this and locks the trap sending for

that usage, which means that as long as the level stays high, no more traps are sent. When

the level goes down to below the Resume by level, the lock is released. Next time the Alarm

by level is reached, a new trap is sent.

To avoid excessive trap sending, it is recommended that the Alarm by and Resume by levels

for a resource are not set too close.
