Prerequisites For Configuring The Snmp Module - Avaya S8700 Series Installing And Configuring

Prerequisites for configuring the SNMP module

Before you configure the SNMP module, you must complete the following prerequisites:
Your Services laptop computer is plugged into the correct administration port on the SNMP
●
module.
The UPS is plugged into a nonswitched electrical outlet.
●
The communication protocol on your computer has the following port settings so that you
●
can use your terminal emulation program:
- 9600 baud
- No parity
- 8 data bits
- 1 stop bit
- No flow control
Note:
Avaya Terminal Emulation and HyperTerminal are supported terminal emulation
Note:
applications.
If a Network Management System (NMS) is to monitor the UPS, you coordinated the
●
assignment of community names with the network administrator. If an NMS is not used,
you set the community names to unique string values.

SECURITY ALERT:
The Get and Set community name strings are initially configured with the default
SECURITY ALERT:
values of Public and Private, respectively. These community name strings
function as passwords for their respective SNMP operation. Avaya recommends
that you change these community name strings to something other than the
default values. If you leave the defaults in place, a serious security issue can
result.
For information about which traps to set, see
If the control network is nondedicated, ensure that the 162/udp port for input to server is
●
enabled and the default is disabled. If you do not enable the 162/udp port and disable the
default, the media server cannot receive the traps from either UPS. See
