On  the  525N  Menu  tree,  click  SNMP  to  bring  up  the  window  

shown here. 

 

The default mode for SNMP is 

Disabled

, which inhibits commu-

nication between the 525N and the SNMP Manager.  Clicking in 

the  dark 

Disabled

 area drops-down  the operating choices 

shown in the inset. 
Changing the 

Mode:

 to 

Read Only

 allows the 525N to be interro-

gated by the SNMP Manager so that 525N settings, metering 

and alarms can be integrated with other equipment on the 

network. 
Setting 

Mode:

 to 

Read & Write

 allows the SNMP Manager to send 

commands to the 525N.  This allows other equipment to 

change station Presets and adjust 525N setup parameters.  Al-
