SNMP Traps 
The Sentry supports three types of SNMP traps. Traps are enabled at the tower (T), infeed (I) or outlet 
(O) level. 
Trap Summary 
Name Level(s)  Description 
Status  T, I, O  Operational status change 
Change  O  Control status change 
Load  I  Input load out of limit 
All traps include the Location of the Sentry as defined with the Set Location command. See Creating a 
location description in Chapter 3: Operations for more information. 
Status trap 
A Status trap is generated when an error condition occurs on a tower, infeed or outlet. Status traps 
include the reported Status, the Location of the Sentry, and identifier and name of the affected tower, 
infeed or outlet. 
Any Trap Status generates a Status trap and triggers the trap timer. A new trap is generated at the end 
of every timer period until the Status returns to a non-error status. 
Tower Status traps 
Status Error Description 
Normal    Tower is working correctly 
NoComm  x  Communication to the tower has been lost 
Infeed Status traps 
Status Error Description 
On    Infeed is on 
OffError  x  Infeed should be on but no current is sensed at the infeed 
NoComm  x  Communication to the infeed has been lost 
Outlet Status traps 
Status Error Description 
On    Outlet is on 
Off    Outlet is off 
OnWait    Outlet Status in transition 
OffWait    Outlet Status in transition 
OnError  x  Outlet should be off but current is sensed at the outlet 
OffError  x  Outlet should be on but no current is sensed at the outlet 
NoComm  x  Communication to the outlet has been lost 
NOTE: Traps are generated according to a hierarchical architecture; i.e. if a Tower Status enters a trap condition, only the 
Tower Status trap is generated. Infeed and Outlet Status traps are suppressed until the Tower Status returns to Normal. 
Change trap 
The Change trap is generated for all outlet status changes between any on/off conditions. Change traps 
include the outlet status, Location of the Sentry, and identifier and name of the affected outlet. For 
descriptions of the outlet status types, please refer to the prior table.
