iPECS eMG80/100& eMG800 & UCP & vUCP
Administration and Programming Manual Issue 2.5

This 4 to 16 character string should be the same as the Trap community string defined in the iPECS NMS. The
Trap community should be the same for all iPECS systems registered to an iPECS NMS server, whereas the
SNMP community may be defined with different strings for each iPECS system.
The Trap Destination defines the IP address of the iPECS NMS server and the port, 162. Enter the IP address
of the NMS server but, the port should not be changed. The pull-down menu next to the address is used to
define the message type. Three values are available:
Trap – message type is defined in SNMPv1, but because iPECS-NMS and iPECS system use
SNMPV2, the Trap type message is not recommended.
Notification – message type send from the SNMP agent once without checking the reception of the
message.
Inform – message type requires an acknowledgment from the SNMP manager. If the agent does not
receive a response, the message is resent. Inform messages are intended for use in environments
with high packet loss; however, use of the Inform message type may detrimentally affect iPECS
system performance.
The iPECS SNMP attributes are defined here. Refer to Table 4.4.5.26-1 for description and values that can be
entered.
For the SNMP agent (eMG/UCP), this field defines the
destination IP address to receive trapped messages
(Alarm/fault events).
