SnmpRecipient configuration

SnmpRecipient components extend from standard AlarmRecipients. They function the same as the standard AlarmRecipient component except that the SnmpRecipient has added properties for configuring and handling the Snmp specific behavior.

In order to use the SnmpRecipient, you must place the SnmpRecipient component under the Station > AlarmService.

NOTE: A configured SnmpNetwork object must exist in the station in order for the SnmpRecipient to function properly.

Notice that the Alarm slot of the Alarm Class component is linked to the Route Alarm slot of the SnmpRecipient component. This ensures that alarms are routed to the SnmpRecipient appropriately. Be sure to use this connection for each Alarm Class-to-SnmpRecipient link in your station.

SnmpRecipient-specific properties are described in the “SnmpRecipient properties”. Configure the SnmpRecipient component to generate and receive Snmp traps as described in the following sections.

Generating Snmp traps

Use the SnmpRecipient component to generate and send alarms (in the form of Snmp v1 traps) to a defined Snmp manager whenever a new alarm record is routed to the SnmpRecipient.

Receiving Snmp traps

Use the SnmpRecipient to store any received alarm records in the Snmp Alarm Table of the SnmpNetwork. The SnmpRecipient receives the alarm record from the linked Default Alarm Class and packages it into an Snmp v1 trap message to send to the network manager.
