Intel® Telco Alarms Manager 2.3 ConfigurationAppendix A: Glossary
Revision 1.7 17
The trap2tam binary reads /usr/local/tam/etc/trap2tam.conf in order to map severities from the
SNMP severity to a TAM severity. Once a severity is mapped for an event, the TAM APIs are
called to enable the appropriate TAM LED. Please refer to Appendix B in this document for
information on configuring trap2tam.conf.
6.2.2 Windows SNMP Trap Forwarding Configuration
TAM installs the “SNMP Trap Listener Service” which listens, filters, and maps traps to the TAM
severities. The only configuration required is setting up the configuration file
snmptraplistener.ini. Please refer to Appendix B in this document for a preview and instructions
of the snmptraplistener.ini file.

stored in the alarm manager database.
