By selecting the AX Property Sheet view of an SnmpRecipient component, you can view and configure the SnmpRecipient properties.

The Time Range, Days of Week, and Transitions properties are standard to all Alarm Recipients and detailed in the Niagara Drivers Guide. The Snmp-specific properties are described in the following section.

Route Acks

Enable this property by selecting the true option. Trap acknowledgements are not routed if the false option is selected.

Route Alarms To Network Manager As Traps

When selected, this property option enables generating and sending Snmp version 1 trap messages to the specified Snmp network manager whenever a new alarm record is received. If this option is not selected, then this service is not enabled and any received alarm record does not generate or send an Snmp version 1 trap message.

Use SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager

When this property option is selected, alarms that are reported as traps, report using the network manager that is defined in the Default Network Manager properties. If this property option is not selected, then the alarms are reported as traps using the network manager that is defined in the Network Manager Config properties.

Network Manager Config

The three properties are available only when the Use SnmpNetwork’s Default Network Manager property option (check box) is not selected.

Network Manager Ip Address

This property is a text field for defining the IP address of the network manager that is used for reporting the generated Snmp version 1 traps.

Network Manager Traps Port

This property specifies the port to use for outgoing Snmp version 1 trap messages sent to the specified network manager (i.e. the port on the network manager where Snmp trap messages are received). This field defaults to port 162 - the standard Snmp traps port.

Network Manager Snmp version

This property specifies the Snmp version.

Network Manager Traps Community

This property specifies the community string field to use for outgoing Snmp version 1 trap messages (sent to the network manager). The default value is “public”.

Snmp Alarm Table

Select one of the options from the option list.

Store Received Alarms

This option specifies that alarms that are routed to this recipient are also cached in the Snmp Alarm Table. This is the default option.

Do Not Store Received Alarms

This option disables the caching of alarms for the recipient.
