Managing ERM via SNMP
If you intend to manage your ERM/TH-Module via SNMP Network
Management Station (NMS), you may want to customize some of the
SNMP settings (such as System Name, System Contact, and System
Location).
NOTE
Before using the ERM in an SNMP environment, the IP address, Gateway address,
and other group parameters must be configured properly. See “Configuration” on page 5 for
details.
SNMP Access Control Setting
The ERM supports SNMP protocol. You can use SNMP NMS to manage
the TH-Module through the network.
NOTE
The IP address of the PC must be entered in the ERM Access Control Table to
prevent unauthorized users from configuring the ERM via HTTP or SNMP protocols.
NOTE
If you do not add the IP address of the workstation to the Access Control Table (via
RS-232 or Telnet) or the SNMP/HTTP Access Control (via Web Browser) in the ERM, you can
only view the in TH-Module status; it will not be able to perform any configuration on the
ERM/TH-Module.
SNMP Trap Receivers Setting
See “Trap Receivers” on page 32 for details.
Setup SNMP Manager Software
