SNMP requires that you load your meter’s ION MIB file (available for download from
www.usa.siemens.com/pds) into the NMS.
You must install RFC 1213, which is required to read basic network information for the meter (for
example, TCP/IP traffic or number of packets received), if it is not included with your SNMP
manager software.
Community strings
A community string is a text string which acts to help authenticate requests from the NMS to your
meter.
There are two community strings on your meter:
•
Read Only Community: this community string is used by SNMP get (read-only) requests. The
read only community string’s initial factory-set value is public.
•
Read Write Community: this community string is used by SNMP set (read/write) requests.
The read write community string’s initial factory-set value is private.
NOTE: You can also use the read write community string for SNMP get (read-only) requests.
If your meter receives an incorrect community string, it generates an AuthenticationFailure trap.
System strings
A system string is a text string which can be configured to provide information about your meter.
There are three system strings on your meter:
•
System contact: Enter the name of the SNMP system administrator.
•
System name: Enter a descriptive name for your meter.
•
System location: Enter a description of your meter’s location.
SNMP trapping implementation
Generic SNMP traps supported by your meter are:
•
Coldstart: The meter (SNMP agent) is starting.
•
Linkup: The SNMP agent is enabled.
•
AuthenticationFailure: The meter (SNMP agent) has received an incorrect community value.
Enterprise-specific SNMP traps supported by your meter are:
•
Low: Trap of events with a low event priority.
•
Medium: Trap of events with a medium event priority.
•
High: Trap of events with a high event priority.
Trap Event priority range
Low 64–127
Medium 128–191
High 192–255
