Assigning SNMP
Trap Managers An SNMP trap is an event that causes the OfficeConnect Remote 840 to
send an unsolicited message to a SNMP manager.
These events are generally critical events that indicate an operational
problem. (Critical events can also be viewed on the OfficeConnect
Remote 840 Manager's Monitor > Events > Critical Event Log screen.)
To configure the OfficeConnect Remote 840 to send traps, follow these
instructions:
1 From the home page, select Configuration > Global > Administrator
> TRAP. Click Add and the following screen fields appear:
2 Enter the following fields:
■ Name — Enter the name of the SNMP Trap Manager.
■
Address — Enter the address of the SNMP Trap Manager (e.g.,
192.168.200.50).
Specifying 0.0.0.0 causes SNMP Traps to be broadcast.
3 After the fields have been entered, click Submit. To clear the fields, click
Reset.
To alter previously set fields, follow step 1 and select an SNMP Trap
Manager, then click Modify. To delete a server from your configuration,
select an SNMP Trap Manager from the TRAP screen and click Delete.
