A.
A point map is a single MIB leaf that presents the current status of a 64-alarm-point display in an ASCII-
readable form, where a "." represents a clear and an "x" represents an alarm.
Q.
The NetGuardian 216 manual talks about two control relay outputs. How do I control these from my SNMP
manager?
A.
The control relays are operated by issuing the appropriate set commands, which are contained in the DPS
Telecom MIB. For more information about the set commands — see Reference Information in any of the
NetGuardian 216 software configuration guides.
Q.
How can I associate descriptive information with a point for the RTU granular traps?
A.
The NetGuardian 216 alarm point descriptions are individually defined using the T/NG216 Editor Mode.
Q.
My SNMP traps aren't getting through. What should I try?
A.
Try these three steps:
1. Make sure that the trap address (IP address of the SNMP manager) is defined. (If you changed the
trap address, make sure you saved the change to NVRAM and rebooted.)
2. Make sure all alarm points are configured to send SNMP traps.
3. Make sure the NetGuardian 216 and the SNMP manager are both on the network. Use the
NetGuardian 216 ping command to ping the SNMP manager.
4. Check that NetGuardian 216 and SNMP managers communities match.
Q.
I can't hear any sound from my speaker. What should I try?
A.
First, verify that the speaker bit is enabled in T/Config. Second, rotate the volume control to maximum.
