2 - SNMP configuration
The NTS01 Network Time Server Ports each provide status monitoring to Network Management
systems through the use of SNMP trap messages. The parameters that can be set for each port
are as follows:-
Community:
The default value is “public”. This may be changed to suit the specific SNMP
architecture on the network if required. If SNMP is not implemented for other purposes on the
network, then the “public” setting allows the use of a simple SNMP trap display utility running
on a remote monitoring PC to display the status messages sent from the Time Server.
SNMP Trap IP Address:
This parameter allows for up to five destination IP addresses to be
entered. Machines on any or all of these IP addresses can then receive the status messages from
the NTS. Even if there is no formal SNMP system running on the network, the messages can be
received and displayed on the destination machines running “Windows NT” or higher using the
freeware utility “SNMPTRAP.EXE” which is on the CD supplied with the kit.
Syslog IP Addr:
One or two IP addresses may be entered to define destination machines
running system logs. These parameters are really only useful in networks running full SNMP
network management systems. Similarly, the following
Syslog facility code
parameter is only
useful on full SNMP network systems.
7 - Factory Defaults
This option initialises critical Time Server Port memory areas, resets all SNMP parameters to
null and sets the “Visible Satellites” parameter to “1”. All other parameters, including the Telnet
password are not changed.
The Time Server Port Edit process may be terminated either by option
8 - Exit without save
or
9 - Save and exit.
The Time Server Port will then reset and begin normal operation
