SnmpRecipient components extend from standard Niagara AlarmRecipients. They function the same as the standard AlarmRecipient component (See “Types of alarm recipients” on page 35.in the NiagaraAX-3.x User Guide) 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 Alarm Service, as shown in Figure 12.
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 (see Figure 14). This ensures that Niagara 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:
-
Use the SnmpRecipient component to generate and send Niagara alarms (in the form of SNMPv1 traps) to a defined SNMP manager whenever a new Niagara alarm record is routed to the SnmpRecipient.
-
Use the SnmpRecipient to store any received Niagara alarm records in the Alarm Table of the SnmpNetwork. The SnmpRecipient receives the alarm record from the linked Alarm Class and packages it into an SNMPv1 trap message to send to the network manager.
