Alarms Notification
There are two different ways to notify alarm events: SNMP v1 traps and emails.
VIII.8.4.1
SNMP traps
It is possible to select an IP address where the SNMP traps will be sent. An SNMP
manager located at this IP address will receive and process the information
according to the SNMP protocol. These SNMP traps will notify alarm information,
that is, an SNMP trap will be sent when an alarm is activated or deactivated, with
the time and type of alarm. For this to happen, alarms have to be enabled (see
chapter VIII.2.2.5 - Alarms. PortaNet can be fully monitored though SNMP
protocol.
