Descriptions
Check All Button:
By clicking the “Check All” button, every port will be enabled.
Clear All Button:
Clicking this button will disable all ports.
Midspan Description:
This box is used to customize the SNMP messages sent. If
multiple devices are being monitored by a SNMP trap program, a Midspan
description will differentiate the Midspan SNMP messages from other devices. The
description can be a maximum of 38 characters long.
Visual Warning:
When this box is checked, and the GUI is minimized, there will be a
visual warning on the host computer after the SNMP message has been sent. The
number of messages sent since the GUI has been minimized will also be displayed.
Expanding the GUI will close the visual warning. By default, this box is checked.
Audible Warning:
If this box is checked, and the GUI is minimized, there will be an
audible warning after an SNMP message has been sent. The host computer must
have speakers to play the warning. Expanding the GUI will silence the warning. By
default, this box is unchecked.
Auto Reconnect:
If the “Auto Reconnect” feature is enabled and communication
between the GUI and computer is lost, the GUI will attempt to re-establish the
connection every 15 seconds. This feature is enabled by default.
SNMP Activated
: This message is sent when the “Start SNMP” button is pushed. It
will be followed with the status of every SNMP enabled port.
SNMP Deactivated
: This message is sent when the “Stop SNMP” button is pushed.
Comm Error:
If the Midspan connection to the host computer is interrupted, a
“Comm Error” and “SNMP Deactivated” message will be sent to the trap. After a
connection is re-established, a “SNMP Activated” message will be sent, followed by
the status of all enabled ports.
Port# Idle:
A “Port Idle” message sent to a trap means the port is not connected to a
valid load.
Port# Powered
: This message is sent when the port is powering a device.
Port# Disabled
: This message is sent when the port is turned off in the GUI and will
not supply power.
Port# Forced Pwr
: This message is sent when the port is configured in the GUI to
send power, regardless of any connected device.
Port# Power Req:
This message is sent when the port is connected to a valid device
but either has not powered up yet or powering the device will exceed the allocated
power.
