Changing the numerical values of notification methods
The numerical value of the notification method is the sum of the alarm matrix values; for example,
PortFencing-32, SnmpTrap-2, and Errlog-1 (32+2+1=35).
Table 33 shows the assigned numerical values for each notification method.
To determine the value for the event setting attribute that enables all desired notification methods,
add the values assigned to each method. For example, to enable SNMP trap, Rapi trap, and e-mail
notification, use the value 22, which is the sum of 2, 4, and 16.
Not all notification methods are valid for all areas. Every area has an associated valid alarm matrix,
which is the sum of all valid notification methods for that area. For example, an area with a valid
alarm matrix of 25 allows the error log entry (1), port log lock (8) and e-mail notification (16)
methods, but does not allow the SNMP trap (2) or Rapi trap (4) methods.
NOTE
An area with a valid alarm matrix of 31 allows all of the notification types.
