To enable a specific alert action for a particular alert state, the corresponding ssXXXXXXEnable MIB
object must be set to 1. The following chart lists the ssXXXXXXEnable objects that correspond to each
alert action for each alert state:

For instance, to have a trap and an Email sent whenever the currently indexed variable on the currently
indexed device enters the Breach of Warning High Limit state, you should set
ssTrapOnScalarWarningEnable and ssEmailOnScalarWarningEnable to 1.
Setting Breach Limit on Boolean Variables
The reading of the currently indexed Boolean variable on the currently indexed device is given by the
ssBooleanData MIB object.
A Boolean variable will enter alert state when its reading is equal to the user defined Boolean critical value.
The Boolean critical value is set through the ssBooleanCriticalState MIB object, and can be assigned one
of the two possible Boolean values. The two possible Boolean values are stored in the MIB objects
ssBooleanZeroStateString and ssBooleanOneStateString. For example, to be alerted when your power
sensor detects power failure, set ssBooleanCriticalState to “PWR FAIL”.
There are two possible alert states for each Boolean variable:
 Breach Of Boolean Critical Limit
 Return to Normal
Different alert actions can be taken in each alert state. The following alert actions are supported:
 Email
 SMS-Paging (SSA7004 and SSA7008 only)
 SNMP Traps
 Command line execution
Any combination of these alert actions can be taken when the variable enters a particular alert state. Please
note that SMS-Paging cannot be configured through SNMP. Please use the Alert web interface to
configure any SMS-Paging alerts.
