In order to generate Snmp traps you must setup and configure the SnmpRecipient on a station running an SnmpNetwork. This includes placing an SnmpRecipient component under the AlarmService component, configuring it to enable trap generation and designating a valid Snmp network manager.

Once the proper IP address and port are assigned for the Snmp network manager, the SnmpRecipient component must have a link to an appropriate Alarm Class under the Alarming Service in order to provide the Alarm source for the generation and routing of Snmp trap messages to the network manager. You add SnmpRecipient components under the AlarmService by copy-and-paste from the nSnmp Palette. You can add as many SnmpRecipients as you need to configure your Snmp integration. An SnmpRecipient component linked to the Default Alarm Class. In this example, any alarms routed to the Default Alarm Class are also routed to the SnmpRecipient. The SnmpRecipient then packages the alarms into Snmp trap messages and sends them to the specified Snmp network manager.
