Setting Up SNMP Traps
The SM65 supervisory module can be configured to send alarms as SNMP traps to up to
eight different SNMP trap receivers on a Network Management System (NMS).
► To send alarms as SNMP traps
1 Set up Ethernet Communications (see details on page
33).
2 In DCTools go to Configuration > Communications > SNMP.
3 Do not change the default settings of SNMP Read Community (public) and SNMP Write
Community (private), unless requested by the network administrator.
4 Set the sysObjectID of a Power System, if required. This is a unique Object Identifier that
allows a network management system 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 SM65-based DC power
system is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.1918.2.12
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.
5 Set Trap Version to SNMP V1, V2, V3 as required.
6 Set Trap Format to Eaton or X.733 as appropriate (Requires SM65 v4 or later).
 "Eaton" format uses different trap numbers according to the alarm source. X.733 format
uses a single trap number for all alarm sources.
7 Configure Trap Repeat and Trap Repeat Rate as appropriate.
8 For each SNMP trap receiver, configure the following parameters.

• Select Urgent Alarms Only to receive only Critical and Urgent alarms.
• Select Critical Alarms Only to receive only Critical alarms (Requires SM65 v4 or later).
