System information

162 The Statistics Menu
The Management Information Base, or MIB, for Observer’s traps is NETINST-
MIB.MIB and will be found in the “Observer Files” directory.
While this file is not needed in order to configure Observer to send an
SNMP trip, it will be needed in order to configure the SNMP device or
program receiving the trap.
Clicking the SETUP button displays the Setup Send Trap Action dialog.
• “Destination IP Address” textbox—allows you to set the IP address of the
station to which the SMTP trap is to be sent.
• “Destination Port” textbox—allows you to set the IP address of the station
(usually a personal computer) to which the SMTP trap is to be sent.
• “Community String” textbox—allows you to set the community name, or
password, of the station to which the SMTP trap is to be sent.
• “Use these settings for all alarms” checkbox—when selected, the same
settings will be used for all alarm actions that send SMTP traps.
You cannot manually configure which trap is sent. Observer chooses
the appropriate trap automatically.
