Example: Ping Monitoring and SNMP Notifications
In this illustration, it is assumed that a significant PDU (IP address:
192.168.84.95) shall be monitored by your PX3TS to make sure that PDU
is properly operating all the time, and the PX3TS must send out SNMP
notifications (trap or inform) if that PDU is declared unreachable due to
power or network failure. The prerequisite for this example is that the
power sources are different between your PX3TS and the monitored
PDU.
This requires the following two steps.
Step 1: Set up the ping monitoring for the target PDU
1. Choose Device Settings > Server Reachability.
2. Click .
3. Ensure the "Enable ping monitoring for this server" checkbox is
selected.
4. Enter the data shown below.

Enter the server's data.
Field Data entered

accessible, enter the following data.
