4-22 Device Configuration Menu Screens
4.5.1 Configuring the Trap Table
To configure the Trap table, proceed as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the appropriate Trap Destination field.
2. Enter the IP address of the workstation that is to receive traps. IP address entries must follow the
DDN format.
For example: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
3. Press ENTER. If an invalid entry is entered, the message “INVALID IP ENTERED” displays
in the Event Message Line.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Trap Community Name field. Enter the community name.
5. Press ENTER.
6. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Enable Traps field. Press the SPACE bar to choose either
YES (send alarms from the device to the workstation), or NO (prevent alarms from being sent).
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command and press ENTER. The message “SAVED
OK” displays on the screen.
The designated workstations will now receive traps from the device as long as the communication
path to the designated workstations is not inhibited (for example, by subnets or VLANs).
