NPort 5600-8-DT/DTL Series General Settings
SNMP trap server (default = blank): This optional field is for the IP address or domain name of your SNMP
trap server, if applicable. The SNMP trap server is required for the NPort to send SNMP traps for certain
administrative events.
Event Type
The Event Type parameters are used to configure which events will generate an automatic warning from the
NPort device server, and how that warning will be issued. For each listed event, certain automatic warning
options are available. If Mail is selected, an e-mail will be sent. If Trap is selected, an SNMP trap will be sent.
Cold start: The NPort has booted up after being powered off.
Warm start: The NPort has rebooted without turning the power off.
Authentication failure: The user has entered the wrong password when trying to access the NPort
configuration parameters from NPort Administrator or one of the consoles (e.g., web console).
IP address changed: The user has changed the NPort’s IP address. Please note that for this event, the NPort
will reboot with the new IP address without sending an automatic warning e-mail if the NPort is unable to reach
the mail server within 15 seconds.
Password changed: The user has changed NPort’s password. Please note that for this event, the NPort will
reboot with the new password without sending an automatic warning e-mail if the NPort is unable to reach the
mail server within 15 seconds.
Ethernet1, Ethernet 2 link down: The Ethernet connection is down or the Ethernet cable has been
disconnected.
DCD changed, Ports 1 through 8: The device port’s DCD (Data Carrier Detect) signal has changed, or the
modem connection status has changed. For example, a DCD change to high indicates that the attached modem
has established a valid connection to another modem. A DCD change to low indicates that the connection line
is down.
