Niagara handles alarms using the station alarming service and its alarm classes. The Snmp driver uses these alarm classes in generating and receiving Snmp traps. Because alarm classes are standard objects, all alarms that generate trap messages (or all received Snmp trap messages that generate alarms) can be viewed in a alarm console. In order to generate and receive Snmp traps, you must properly configure the SnmpNetwork and SnmpRecipient components.
