Issue
Need to deliver I/NET alarms and events to a third party SNMP client
Environment
I/NET site
Cause
Desire to deliver alarms/events to third party
Resolution
There are two mechanisms in the Xenta 527 related to SNMP:
- MIB - sends a block of data about the status of the I/NET system, LAN re-config, loading etc.
- SNMP traps - use filters to look at the incoming message stream from I/NET or any other connected system to capture specific messages and send them as alarms to an SNMP server.
The default configuration for a Xenta 527 out of the box has alarms enabled but events disabled. There is a check box in the 527 Config Screen that turns this on/off.
To change this:
- Go to your project
- Add Page/SNMP Trap Page
- Right click on SNMP Trap Page
- Select SNMP Trap Filter
- Select Status
- Check the Event check box.
