Trap Settings
The Trap Setting section allows the network operator to configure the
DPoE
™ Power Patch Panel to
send configuration and alarm messages to up to three different IP addresses.
IMPORTANT:
If one of the traps needs to be configured and set to the IP address of the computer
running the
DPoE
™ Element Manager in order for the
DPoE
™ Element Manager to
receive configuration and alarm messages from the panel
…
Then, the computer
running the
DPoE
™ Element Manager should not have any other programs running
that receive trap information.
The IP Address, SNMP Community String and SNMP version (normally SNMP V2C) are set according to
the destination device for these outgoing messages. The Enable
The other fields,
provides an easy on/off button for the
traps without having the delete the above-entered information.
Critical, Major, Minor, Advisory, refer to the priority of the messages and allow the
network operator to designate which message should be sent to each trap (refer to
DPoE
™ Element
Manager Log Messages
for more information).
Copy/Paste/Delete Panel Information
The
DPoE
™ Element Manager also provides a unique feature that will allows the network operator to
more efficiently configure the network by allowing all panel-level information to be copied from one panel
to another. The Copy Panel and Paste Panel options under the
Tools
pull-down menu provide an easy
mechanism to perform this task.
Once a panel is highlighted in the Tree View of the Network area on the system-level opening screen, the
View Panel Screen for that panel will appear. Using the Copy Panel capability, will copy all panel-level
information into a buffer. By then selecting another panel on the Tree View of the Network, perhaps a
newly added panel, the paste panel capability is used to paste the panel-level information (Panel
Attributes, SNMP Settings and Trap Settings) from the first panel to this second one. The paste panel
capability can continue by selecting another panel and selecting the Paste Panel option again.
NOTE:
The Paste Panel option does not overwrite the IP Addressing information for the
panels (refer to
Edit Panel Information
).
The Delete Panel option under the
Tools
pull-down menu provides an easy mechanism to delete a panel
from the
DPoE
™ Element Manager. This may be required if panels are being pulled from the network.
Once a panel is highlighted in the Tree View of the Network area on the system-level opening screen, the
View Panel Screen for that panel will appear. Using the Delete Panel capability will erase all panel-level
information in the
DPoE
™ Element Manager for this panel.
NOTE:
Since the master copy of all Panel information is stored in the panel itself, use the
Discover capability to find the panel in the network and restore the information if it
was erroneously deleted.
