Room Alert Signal Tower Conguration And Setup Screens
SNMP Queries (SNMP Get)
The ‘SNMP’ section displays settings allowing Room Alert Signal Tower to respond to SNMP Query
requests from network monitoring applications like PageR Enterprise, Tivoli, OpenView, Unicenter and
others. Enter the ‘Community Name’ to use for accessing the SNMP data via SNMP Query for the Room
Alert Signal Tower sensors. By default, the sensor values are returned in 4-digit format since SNMP
does not support oating point numbers (i.e. 78.55 would be 7855). If 2-digit format is preferred, select
the ‘2-Digit SNMP Values’ checkbox.
The tower lights and audible alarms can also be controlled using SNMP Set commands. If your SNMP
management application supports SNMP Set functions, the same Community Name will be used to
control access to these functions. If the SNMP feature of the Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box is
used, Room Alert Signal Tower MIBs are available for download via the AVTECH.com website in the
‘Downloads’ section under ‘Room Alert Software Downloads’
SNMP Traps
Room Alert Signal Tower can also send SNMP Traps in response to alerts. Enter up to three (3) Trap
Send IP addresses on the SNMP tab and Room Alert Signal Tower will send SNMP Traps to these
systems for processing by network monitoring applications.
In addition to sending SNMP Traps, Room Alert Signal Tower can receive generic SNMP Traps and turn
on the red LED on the light tower and send an email when received. Up to three (3) Trap Receive IP
addresses can be congured and Room Alert Signal Tower will generate an alarm when a SNMP Trap is
received from one of these IP addresses. If the Trap Receive IP addresses are left blank, any SNMP Trap
received will generate an alarm.
