Field Function
Default Gateway

The default gateway is the IP address of
the router or other equipment on the local
network segment that is used to direct
traffic to and from the segment. Obtain an
appropriate value from your network
administrator.
Enable RIP?
Initially Yes appears on the screen. Press
the space bar to toggle to No. Yes allows
the terminal server to direct routers on the
local network segment to use it as the
gateway to devices connected to the
terminal server via PPP.
Network-Loss Alarm Delay
Time
Enter a time in seconds, from 0 to 255. If
no network activity is detected for longer
than the specified amount of time, the
terminal server will generate a .NETDOWN
alarm.
Overview of SNMP Support by Terminal Servers
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a TCP/IP protocol for
network management. It allows compliant devices to be configured
and/or to send error messages to Network Management software
packages.
The terminal server can send SNMP traps based on alarm conditions
detected in host devices or in the terminal server itself. Any alarm
condition that can be listed in the Action Table can be sent to a
management system via an SNMP Trap. Thus, the terminal server acts
as an SNMP trap proxy agent for devices that deliver alarms via
asynchronous RS-232 communication, via contact closures, or other
non-network mechanisms.
