V3 Privacy Password Only used with SNMP v3 and if an authentication
password is set. This password is needed only if the
NMS uses encryption.
System Object ID:
Only change this if required by the system
administrator.
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 SC300-based dc power system
is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.14
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 communicate using SNMP V3
Compete the steps in
Communication via a Network Management System using SNMP above, then:
1 In web, go to System > Interfaces > Users.
2 Expand the table to the right.
3 Select an existing user to configure for SNMP V3 access, or create a new user.
4 Set the following parameters for each SNMP V3 user:
logon ID Ensure the logon ID matches the SNMP V3 user name.
Password Set this to the SNMP V3 authentication password.
SNMP V3 Set to the appropriate SNMP V3 access rights for this
user.
 For SNMP V3 security, the default user should be disabled or have its rights restricted.
To send alarms as SNMP traps
1 Set up Ethernet Communications (see details on page 104).
2 In web go to System > Interfaces > Remote Access Protocols > SNMP.
3 In DCTools, go to Communications > Remote Access Protocols > SNMP
4 Set the following parameters:
System Object ID: See: To Allow NMS Access to a SC300 on page 107.
Trap Version: Set to SNMP V1, V2, V3 as required.
Trap Format: Set to Eaton or X.733 as appropriate .
X.733 format uses a single trap number for all alarm
sources.
"Eaton" format uses different trap numbers according
to the alarm source.
Enable Generic Traps If enabled, the SC300 will send traps on system events
such as restart.
