Log SNMP
Prima IP
supports SNMP traps so that it can provides the alarms information to the SNMP
manager devices on the network.
Primary Manager: Specify the IP address of the Primary SNMP manager device on your network.
Secondary Manger: Specify the IP address of the Secondary SNMP manager device on your
network.
SNMP Community: Specify the name of the SNMP Community to which your SNMP Management
host and SNMP agent should belong.
Note that the SNMP manager devices and agents should belong to an SNMP community, which is a
collection of hosts grouped together for administrative purposes.
There are three types of alarm triggering events
Prima IP
can respond to: No video, Blue
Screen and NumLock test failure. According to the settings you have specified, these alarm
triggering events can be configured to trigger
Prima IP
’s immediate responses, such as restart
the computer, alert emails or SNMP trap messages.
No Video Alarm (Power-Off or Out-of-Range Video)
No Video could be a result from power failure or an out-of-range video mode. If you want
Prima IP
to respond immediately to this alarm event, just check the
Enable Alarm
option.
Note that you first have to check the
Enable Alarm
option before the
Restart Computer
and
Send an
option could be enabled. If the
Enable
Alarm option is left unchecked, it won’t restart computer or
send an e-mail even if these two options are selected!
Blue Screen Alarm (Text mode)
Blue screen is a result of
Operating System
fatal error. If you want
Prima IP
to respond
immediately to this alarm event, just check the
Enable Alarm
option.
Since the output of a blue screen is sometimes identical with a text mode screen in terms of its
resolution being 600 x 400 or 600 x 480. Therefore,
Prima IP
will regard a text mode output either of 600
x 400 or 600 x 480 as identical to a blue screen, and send out alert e-mails or SNMP trap messages according
to its configuration.
NumLock Test Alarm (Frozen Keyboard)
The NumLock test is to send a NumLock signal to the computer, and the computer normally
should return a response immediately so that the NumLock LED indicator on the keyboard will be
lit to indicate the success of the test.
The failure of a NumLock test indicates at least a keyboard failure to respond to this NumLock
signal, or it might be due to bigger problem such as system failure, or simply a powered-off state.
