FS2 Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is defined as a “simple network management protocol” and was specified
as a component of the internet protocol suite by the Internet Engineering Task
Force (IETF). The FS2 can act as a network element that issues SNMP trap
messages signalling a detected alarm condition or other system condition.

Before the FS2 can respond to SNMP requests, CONFIG parameter 4.0 must be
set to enable SNMP communication.

When SNMP is enabled, one or more of 4 alarms may be sent by the FS2 to the
client network management system (NMS) as a trap message:

Power supply failure or disconnection: FS2PSAlarm (see parameter 5)

Reference video: FS2REFAlarm (see parameter 7)

Format: FS2FMTAlarm (see parameter 6.1)

Temperature of FS2 is over limit (internally): FS2OVRAlarm

The trap message would be sent to server-based external NMS. These trap
destinations must have a fixed IP address that you have pre-defined (FS2
parameters 4.1 and 4.3 must be set to point to these, if used). For example, the
FS2 could send a trap message if one of its redundant power supplies becomes
unplugged. A client software agent that communicates with the NMS might
then get a message telling the operator what has happened.
