Communication via a Network Management System using SNMP
The SC200 system controller can be configured to allow access by a Network Management
System (NMS), and/or to send alarms as SNMP traps to up to eight different SNMP trap
receivers on an NMS.
► To allow SMNP access to the SC200
1 Set up Ethernet Communications (see details on page 82).
2 In DCTools/Web go to Configuration > Communications > SNMP.
3 Set the following parameters:
SNMP Access:
Disabled: NMS access to the SC200 is not allowed.
All: the NMS has full access to the SC200.
Read Only: the NMS has read only access to the
SC200.
V3 Only: SNMP v3 access is allowed.

Do not change the default settings unless requested by
the network administrator.
Authentication Password
(SHA):
Only used with SNMP v3. Set if the NMS requires an
authentication password.
Privacy Password (DES):
Only used with SNMP v3 and if an authentication
password is set. Set if the NMS uses encryption.
System Object ID:
This is a unique Object Identifier that allows the NMS
to identify the type of device (in this case a power
system) on the network.
Objects are named in the
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises (1.3.6.1.4.1)
sub-tree for enterprise-specific objects. The default
Object Identifier for an SC200-based dc power system
is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.13
A network administrator can specify a new Object
Identifier within the (1.3.6.1.4.1) sub-tree, if required.
Do not enter the sub-tree integers 1.3.6.1.4.1 into the
System Object ID field.
► To send alarms as SNMP traps
1 Set up Ethernet Communications (see details on page 82).
2 In DCTools go to Configuration > Communications > SNMP.
3 Set the following parameters:
System Object ID:
See: To Allow NMS Access to a SC200 on page 85.
Trap Version:
Set to SNMP V1, V2, V3 as required.
