Event Management
The KX II Event Management feature allows you enable and disable the
distribution of system events to SNMP Managers, the Syslog and the
audit log. These events are categorized, and for each event you can
determine whether you want the event sent to one or several
destinations.
Configuring Event Management - Settings
SNMP Configuration
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol governing
network management and the monitoring of network devices and their
functions. The KX II offers SNMP Agent support through Event
Management.
To configure SNMP (enable SNMP logging):
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Management - Settings. The Event
Management - Settings page opens.
2. Select SNMP Logging Enabled. This enables the remaining SNMP
fields.
3. In the Name, Contact, and Location fields, type the SNMP agent's
name (that is, the device's name) as it appears in the KX II Console
interface, a contact name related to this device, and where the
Dominion device is physically located.
4. Type the Agent Community String (the device's string). An SNMP
community is the group to which devices and management stations
running SNMP belong. It helps define where information is sent. The
community name is used to identify the group. The SNMP device or
agent may belong to more than one SNMP community.
5. Specify whether the community is Read-Only or Read/Write using
the Type drop-down list.
6. Configure up to five SNMP managers by specifying their Destination
IP/Hostname, Port # and Community.

the SNMP Management Information Base.

Address field.
