Setting up Email Alerts and SNMP Traps
After you have created the Serial Port alerts and traps, you can the use the Serial Device Server internal
web pages to set up the recipient Email addresses and/or computer systems. After you have logged into
the internal web pages, click Alerts and Traps on the left side of the screen and select either Email
Alerts or SNMP IP Traps. (note that the Alerts and Traps menu item will not appear unless you have
previously configured match strings using the Internal Configuration Console as described in the previous
section). The Email Alert Configuration screen is shown below.
This screen allows you to define up to eight Email addresses that can receive alert information. Each
address can receive any combination of the alerts that you have defined previously. You must enter the
IP address of your SMTP server and the Email address(es) where you want the alerts to go. For example,
in the above screen, the user has configured two serial port match strings. He has decided to send an
alert to the mail address [e-mail] if the first match string is seen on the serial port. If
desired, he could create up to seven more Email addresses that could each receive any combination of
these alerts.
The SNMP Trap Configuration page works exactly the same way as the Email Alert Configuration page,
except that you enter the Trap Community plus the IP address and port of the destination computer(s)
instead of the Email information. Up to eight separate IP addresses can be configured with any
combination of the alerts that you have defined. Note that you may also use the console command SET
IP TRAP n TRIGGER console command (see appendix B) to set up the traps.
When you have finished configuring the alerts, be sure to click the Submit button to save the settings.
You will also need to restart the Serial Device Server in order for the changes to take effect.
