Room Alert User’s Guide
SNMP Configuration
To begin configuring your Room Alert for SNMP:
1.
In Community Name, you may leave the default SNMP protocol community name,
“public,” or enter a new name.
TIP
2.
You may leave Contact (sysContact) blank or enter a person’s name to specify who is
receiving the information.
3.
You may leave Location (sysLocation) blank or enter the location of your Room Alert
monitor.
4.
You may select
Use 2 digit SNMP
if you prefer to receive values in 2-digit rather than
4-digit format.
TIP
5.
Select
Save Settings
at the top or bottom of the page. Your Room Alert will
automatically reboot and commit your changes.
SNMP Trap Sending Configuration
You may configure your Room Alert to send SNMP Traps in response to a change in alarm state
to up to three host systems running 3
rd
-party SNMP monitoring applications. Each host system
you enter in these fields will receive the same SNMP Traps simultaneously.
Room Alert sends values to your 3
rd
-party SNMP monitoring application in 4-digit
format by default. 78.55° F, for example, appears as 7855. In 2-digit format, your
values are truncated, not rounded to the nearest number. In this example, 78.55
would appear as 78.
The community name you assign here must match the one in your 3
rd
-party SNMP
monitoring application.
