The trap OID field allows entry of an arbitrary OID “segment”. The number entered must be un
ique for each
specified trap. It must start with a digit and be followed by a set of dotted numbers with no concluding dot.
Each complete custom OID is made up of the OID Root followed by the Enterprise number and ending with
the number entered in the Trap OID field. This complete OID will be sent when the selected alarm type
occurs on the identified channel.
EMAIL AND DIAL-OUT NOTIFICATIONS
The ARC Plus SL can send dial-out notifications using
ESI
when it is networked with another ARC Plus configured
with ESI or using
RSI
when networked with an ARC Plus Touch configured with
RSI.
Each alarm can be linked to an email notification list and/or a dial-out list to alert personnel to out-of-tolerance
conditions or system alarms (such as an offline ICRU). In order for email alarm notifications to be sent, the ARC Plus
SL must have access to an SMTP server.
Configuring notifications is a two-step process: first, the notification lists must be created in the Alarm
Notifications window; then the alarm conditions must be configured to use the appropriate lists. This is
accomplished in the Status Notifications and Meter Notifications tabs of the channel configuration area, after you
have configured status and metering channels.
