If I’m not mistaken 57 means the temperature is back within acceptable limits and 18 means the utility is restored. Click e-mail and configure it send to your previously added SMS number of e-mail address.įor the utility failure you should add another watch with Specific type with as value 17. For this we will watch Specific Type with a value of 56. The first trap will be for when the temperature reaches its upper limit. To do this click on the Actions tab and add 2 traps. We will now configure the actions to be taken when a specific SNMP trap is caught. For the possible variables see the manual. You can use variables like %SPECIFICTYPE%. įinally type a message (faxmaker ignores the subject for SMS messages). In the To field type in your cellphone number followed by your GFI Faxmaker SMS domain for example. In the SMTP server field type in the IP of your Faxmaker server. Once its loaded click on the configure button at the bottom Then click on the Email tab followed by the Add button and fill in the correct values. To do this, start the Trap Reciver configuration tool located on your desktop.
In our case the action is to send a SMS message. Finally you need to link actions to the traps. In short what you need to configure is the necessary e-mail servers and recipients as well as the SNMP traps to watch for.
I will not go in to detail on how to configure it, there is a good manual with lots of screenshots available on the website. A shortcut for the easy to use configuration tool is placed on the Desktop as well. Once it is installed it will run as a service.
Just download it, extract it and follow the steps in the setup.

Navigate and logon to your UPS using your webbrowser of choice.Ĭlick on the Notified Applications link under Settings and click on the Add NMS button. This can be done using the web based management page of the UPS. The first thing we’ll do is configure the MGE UPS to send SNMP traps to the Trap Receiver server.
