SNMP trapping
SNMP trapping allows your meter’s agent to notify the NMS of events with an
unsolicited SNMP message (a “trap” of the meter’s alarm event).
You can enter up to four IP addresses for SNMP trap notification for generic and
enterprise-specific traps. For enterprise traps, you must also define the number of
events or maximum time delay before SNMP traps are sent to the NMS.
SNMP trapping is only supported on SNMP v2.
