Chapter 4: Snmp (Simple Network Management Protocol) - Phonetics Sensaphone IMS-4000 User Manual

Chapter 4: SNMP
The IMS-4000 Host contains an SNMP agent that supports all three current versions of SNMP (v1,
V2c, and V3), over both UDP and TCP transports. Read and write access to most of the IMS-4000
parameters is provided along with the ability to send traps when alarms occur. A complete SNMPv1
MIB is provided on the IMS-4000 CD.
The SNMP agent can be enabled or disabled from the local configuration options while directly con-
nected to the IMS-4000 via RS-232. The SNMP community strings are also configured through the
local configuration. See Chapter 1 for details.
Through the SNMP protocol, most of the programming parameters and status information can be
accessed. The following is a summary of the IMS-4000 items that can be fully accessed through
SNMP:
= Edit Environmental input programming
= Edit IP Alarm programming
= Edit System programming (unit info, e-mail setup, Web FTP setup, phone settings)
= Enable/Disable Datalogging
= Edit the Datalog interval
= Edit/add Classes
= Edit Environmental input template programming
= Edit Camera setup
= Edit PowerGate programming and switch outlets
= Acknowledge alarms
= View Network and Security configuration parameters
= View system diagnostic information
Some parameters of the IMS-4000 involve complex data structures and cannot be accessed through the
SNMP protocol. The following operations cannot be performed through SNMP:
= Add or delete IP alarms
= Add or delete Profiles or Contacts
= Delete a sensor
= Delete a Node
= Delete a PowerGate device
= Configure the system clock
= Modify time schedules
= Edit alarm response programming sequences
= Modify classes on Environmental Inputs, IP Alarms, or Profiles
