Proxy Information
The Proxy Information tab (see figure 52 ) enables the user to determine which device in the chassis will be used
as the alarm card proxy. Proxy Information dialog is already configured with a different proxy device, it must be
deleted by clicking the
Clear Proxy
button before another can take is place. After a proxy device has been
selected, the ForeSight 6100 will automatically configure it to communicate with the alarm card.

Choose Proxy
When choosing a proxy, the Choose Proxy dialog box (see figure 53 ) will be displayed. Only devices capable of
communication with the 6103 alarm card will be shown in the list (currently only the Patton Model 3096RC
has this capability). There must be at least one Model 3096RC blade in the chassis to act as a proxy for the
Model 6103 alarm card.
Note
The device chosen as the proxy must have as its community string the
“write” community string (that is, the superuser password).

Chassis Level Events
A proxy relays events from the 6103 alarm card to the ForeSight 6100. These events originate from the sending
3096RC but are specially formatted to indicate the fact they originate from the alarm card. Any events origi-
nating from an alarm card will be displayed on this Chassis Level Events tab (see
figure 54 ). The events table
looks identical to all others in the system except that it only displays chassis-level events.
