3. The Description field is not currently editable; future releases of SPECTRUM
Element Manager will allow you to assign a descriptive label to each set of
actions.
4. To select the Variable whose value you wish to SET, use the MIBTree panel
provided on the right side of the window. (For more information about how to
use the MIBTree utility, see the
Tools Guide.) The display will default to the
top of the tree (labeled Internet); there are two ways to locate and/or assign
the correct variable:
a. If you know the exact name of the OID whose value you wish to track
(including its capitalization), simply enter the name in the Variable field; to
verify that you have entered the name correctly, click on
to move
the MIBTree display to that OID. (If MIBTree display does not adjust to
show the OID you’ve entered, you’ve entered the name incorrectly;
remember, case does count!)
b. Use the scroll bars and click to open the appropriate folders in the
MIBTree panel to locate the object you wish you use; click to select it in
the panel, and its name will automatically be entered in the Variable field.
5. Once you have selected the object you wish to set, you must assign the
appropriate instance value in the Instance field. If you’re not sure how the
object you wish to set is instanced, you can use the MIBTree utility (described
in the
Tools Guide) to query it; all available instances for the object will be
displayed.
6. In the Value field, enter the value you wish to set for the selected object.
Again, if you’re not sure what the valid values are for the variable you wish to
set, locate the object in the MIBTree utility and use the Details button to
obtain more information.
7. Once you’ve configured your action, click on ; the action will be added
to the Action Table list in the lower left corner of the window. Note that the
window remains open so that you may configure additional new actions or
modify existing ones; selecting on any action in the Action Table will display
that action’s parameters in the window and make them available for editing.
When you have finished configuring your actions, click on
to close
the window.
Note that the Action Table will update automatically each time an action is added
or deleted; use the Refresh button to update the table at any time.
TIP
If you select an invalid OID Ñ that is, one which does not permit write access Ñ the
message !CanÕt set action - not write access!! will be displayed in the Variable Þeld.
If you donÕt know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable,
and you canÕt Þnd it by searching through the tree, use the MIBTree utilityÕs Find feature
to locate the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more
information on the MIBTree utility and its Find capabilities, see the Tools Guide.
