Configuring Ping Targets

Fig. 2.11.1. Configure the ping target parameters from the Ping Info screen
Each of the 32 ping targets can be provisioned with a description, an IP address, a choice whether to send SNMP
Traps, and the primary and secondary pager devices being used.
Use the following steps to configure the ping targets:
1. From the Edit menu select Ping Targets (see Figure 2.11.1).
2. In the Description field enter a description of the device to be pinged.
3. In the IP Address field enter the IP address of the device to be pinged.
4. Under the Trap column check the box to designate that an SNMP trap will be sent when an alarm condition
exists. Leaving the box blank designates that an SNMP trap will not be sent when an alarm condition exists.
5. Set the primary and secondary pagers with a pager ID from your defined pager list (see Section 2.5, "Setting
up Notification Methods" for more information).
Note: The NetGuardian 216T will notify both the primary and the secondary notification device when point
status changes (both alarm and clear).
6. Under the Group column enter the appropriate point group ID (see Section 2.6, "Defining Point Groups)."
7. Click Submit Data to save the configuration settings.

Analog Parameters

Each of the NetGuardian 216T's analog channels must be individually configured to monitor data. The ADCs
(analog to digital converters) support a range of –70 to 94 VDC. There are four alarm trip points (thresholds) in
ascending order: major under, minor under, minor over, and major over. You can choose the values for each of
the thresholds on all channels. As with the other alarms, you can designate whether or not to send an SNMP trap
when a threshold is crossed. The primary/secondary pager used to report the alarm is also set here. The
thresholds must be set from Under to Over in either ascending or descending potential (or current) order. Thus
the settings of –10, –5, 5 and 10 corresponding respectively to major under, minor under, minor over, and major
over is valid.
