Page 8: Chapter 1 Introduction
The 4043E Power Sensor uses Ethernet communications for sensor control and measurement data. "Sensor Operation" on page 8 The 4043E Sensor is designed to transfer data over an Ethernet connection. The power sensor requires an external power supply. Each sensor is equipped with RF input and output connectors, one RJ-45 connector for Ethernet communications, a PTT connector, and a status indicator. - Page 9 Reset Button default of 192.168.3.200. When long pressed (more than 5 seconds), all of the 4043E settings are reset to the factory defaults. Solid green: Power applied during boot-up. Status LED Blue flashing: Normal operation. Red: Reset button pressed and released.

4043E. The SNMP GET operation is used to query the scalar variables in a MIB. Each variable is identified by its OID. The 4043E will respond with a return value or with an error. - Page 19 Sensor Operation SNMP Traps Traps are messages sent to the SNMP manager by the 4043E when events occur. To enable SNMP Trap functionality, connect to the 4043E User Interface, enable Traps, and enter the SNMP Manager’s IP address. See Figure 12 A trap message will be sent to designated host computers whenever the sensor detects an alarm condition.
