    When set to Enable Both , the FS1 issues SNMP trap messages to Trap Destination 1 and 2 (parameters 51.2 and 51.4) and as defined in the MIB. When SNMP is enabled, one or more of 4 alarms may be sent by the FS1 to the client NMS as a trap message: Power supply failure or disconnection: fs1PSAlarm (see parameter 60.1)
  • Page 114 The trap message would be sent to server-based external network management systems (NMS). These trap destinations must have a fixed IP address that you have pre-defined (FS1 parameters 51.2 and 51.4 must be set to point to these, if used). 51.2 SNMP Trap Dest 1...

    The GPI inputs and outputs are electrically isolated from the power and ground on the FS1 frame. There are two inputs and two outputs. Electrical isolation is provided for up to two pieces of external equipment. The following guidelines apply to the two GPI inputs and outputs: Input 1 and Output 1 share a common isolated ground on pins 6 &...
  • Page 118 The following illustration shows typical external wiring to the GPI connector. The GPI inputs require some kind of contact closure between the input pin and the input ground pin to register the logic low that triggers the GPI input. You can connect the outputs to TTL buffers that communicate the GPI output logic levels to other devices.
