Configuring Alarms
Publishing Alarms to SNMP Devices
As part of the alarm calibration process, you can specify that the alarm, when triggered, be
sent as an SNMP trap.
To choose the traps that will be sent to the selected trap targets for this system
1 In the main window, click the System tab, and then click Description/Calibrations on
the second-level tab bar.
A hierarchical list representing the current system appears.
2 Expand the multiviewer whose traps you wish to enable, navigate to the appropriate
alarm, and then click the alarm to select it.
3In the Properties tab, select the Trap enabled check box to have the multiviewer issue
an SNMP trap each time this alarm is triggered.
4Click Apply to all to apply this setting to all other alarms with the same name,
throughout the system.
In the example, clicking Apply to all will enable Video Loss SNMP traps for every input
in your system. This is particularly useful for audio input errors, because of the large
number of channels arriving at the multiviewer.
5 Repeat the procedure until all desired SNMP traps have been enabled.
6On the File menu, click Save.
