Advanced Alarm Configuration 4-25
Alarm Configuration
a. If you know the exact name of the OID 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 the Find-> button to move
the MIB Tree display to that OID. (If MIB Tree 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 MIB
Tree display to locate the object you wish to 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 MIB Tools 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 MIB Tools utility and use the Details tab to obtain
more information.
7. Once you’ve configured your action, click on the Add button; 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 the Cancel button
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 — that is, one which does not permit write access — the
message !!Can’t set action on this type!! will be displayed in the Variable field.
If you don’t know the exact spelling of the OID you wish to use for your alarm variable,
and you can’t find it by searching through the tree, use the MIB Tools utility’s Find
feature to locate the OID and determine its exact spelling (and tree location). For more
information on the MIB Tools utility and its Find capabilities, see the Tools Guide.
