Alarm Trap Manager 1 through 4 (alarmTrapIp0–alarmTrapIp3)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) trap daemons are a tool for managing TCP/IP networks, they
are a simple method of alerting a management host of a problem with a device or application. The Alarm Trap
Manager parameter is the IP address of a host running the SNMP trap daemon that will be receiving messages
sent from the T-DAC. Upon the occurrence of an alarm, the T-DAC sends an SNMP trap message to the host
system (or a management station) defined by this parameter.
Alarm Severity Configuration
This section describes configuring alarm severity levels. Clicking on Modify Severity (see figure 13 on page 50)
displays the Alarm Severity Configuration window (see figure 18) listing of T-DAC alarms. From this window
you can assign the severity for each alarm (critical, major, minor, informational, or ignore).
Figure 18. Alarm Severity Configuration window
Note
The T-DAC’s factory-default configuration is to consider all alarms to
be major (orange) ones, unless you customize the alarm’s severity levels.
The alarms can be independently configured to generate alarm messages. Each alarm item can be set for one of
the following severity levels:
critical(4)—When active, critical alarm notifications appear as red highlighting on the HOME window (see
figure 4 on page 38) and as a flashing red star (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window (see
figure 136 on page 252).
major(5)—When active, major alarm notifications appear as orange highlighting on the HOME window (see
figure 4 on page 38) and as an orange exclamation mark (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status win-
dow (see figure 136 on page 252).
• minor(6)—When active, minor alarm notifications appear as yellow highlighting on the HOME window
(see figure 4 on page 38) and as a yellow triangle (see figure 137 on page 252) on the System Status window
(see figure 136 on page 252).
The Alarm Trap Manager requires that an IP address be entered.
If you do not want the T-DAC to send SNMP trap messages,
entering an address of 0.0.0.0 disables SNMP trap
message sending.
