Retry Times
Default: 3
Range: 0–255
Format: Numeric
Specifies the number of retries to be attempted
when a response is not received for a generated
message. An application may provide its own
retry count, in which case the value of this object
is ignored.

This field only appears when the Notify
Type is set to V2Inform or V3Inform.
Usm User Name
Default: N/A
Range: 1–32
Format: Alphanu-
meric

use to access the PSAX system. You can specify
alphanumeric characters including A-Z, a-z, 0-9,

The text string is case-sensitive. The use of the
space character is not supported.
Note:
This field only appears when the Notify
Type is set to V3Trap or V3Inform.
Note:
This field value must match one of the
UsmUserName values on the Usm User Table
window. If there is no match, then you will not
be able to access the PSAX from an external
SNMP manager using SNMPv3 protocol.
Note:
If the Notify Type is set to V3Inform, then
the SnmpEngineID associated with the UsmUser-
Name value on the Usm User Table must be set to
the remote SNMP Engine ID. If it is not, then
delete the existing USM User and recreate the
user using the remote SNMP Engine ID.

cation verifies the identity of the sender of a mes-
sage by using secret key algorithms. Privacy pro-
vides encryption of the messages being sent.
Note:
This field only appears when the Notify
Type is set to V3Trap or V3Inform.
Note:
This field value must match the Security
Level value configured on the Usm User Creation
window. If there is no match, then you will not
be able to access the PSAX from an external
SNMP manager using SNMPv3 protocol.
