Snmp-Trap Messages; Vp100/Net Wall Mount Display - Meinberg LANTIME/GPS Operating Instructions Manual

SNMP-TRAP messages

Up to two SNMP trap receiver hosts can be configured in this subsection, you may
use IPv4 or IPv6 addresses or specify a hostname. Additionally you have to enter a
valid SNMP community string for your trap receiving community. These are mostly
independent from the SNMP community strings used for status monitoring and
configuration (see SNMP configuration on the "Security" page).

VP100/NET wall mount display

The VP100/NET wall display is an optional accessory for the LANTIME
timeserver, it has an own integrated Ethernet port (10/100 Mbit) and a SNTP client.
The time of the display can be received from any NTP server using the SNTP
protocol, additionally the display is able to show text messages, which are sent by
using special software. The LANTIME can send an alarm message to one or two
VP100/NET displays over the network, whenever an event occurs, for which you
selected the display notification type. An alarm message is shown three times as a
scrolling message.
Just enter the display's IP address and its serial number (this is used for
authorization), which can be found by pressing the red SET button on the back of the
display four times. The serial number consists of 8 characters, representing four bytes
in hexadecimal notation.
If you want to use the display for other purposes, you can send text messages to it by
using our command line tool send2display, which can be found on the LANTIME.
This allows you to use the display by CRON jobs or your own shell scripts etc. If you
run the tool without parameters, a short usage screen is shown, explaining all
parameters it may understand. See appendix for a printout of this usage screen.
