Chapter 2: SNMP configuration

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 on the UPS.
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 used to monitor the UPS, you must
coordinated the assignment of community names with the network administrator. If an
NMS is not used, you can set the community names to any 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 server cannot receive the traps from either UPS. See
