SNMP Receiver

Previous Next

ELM can receive SNMP traps sent from any SNMP management system or from another ELM Server.

In order to receive SNMP traps on the ELM Server:

•	Install and start the Windows SNMP Service

In the Windows SNMP Service, configure the Security to fit your businesses networking environment

•	Install and start the Windows SNMP Trap Service.

In ELM's SNMP Receiver Monitor Item:

•	Assign the Include Filter(s) and/or Exclude Filter(s).

•	Choose to display the SNMP Object IDs (OIDs) by checking the Translate OID values to names checkbox.

If a MIB file for a device sending traps has been copied to the MibFiles sub-folder under the ELM install folder, then traps received by ELM will have the OID translated from numeric to text labels as defined in the MIB.

Note
Restart ELM Server Service - When configuring the ELM SNMP Receiver, the ELM Server service must be restarted if either of the following are true:
- The ELM Server is running on a Windows XP computer.
- The ELM SNMP Receiver has already been started at least once since the last time the ELM Server service was started.
