7. Alerts, Auto-Response and Logging

SMS via Cellular Modem

To use an attached or internal cellular modem for SMS, the Administrator must enable SMS:

• Select Cellular Modem in the SMS Settings ﬁeld.

• Check Receive Messages to enable incoming SMS messages to be received. A custom script will be called on receipt of

incoming SMS messages.

• You may need to enter the phone number of the carrier’s SMS Message Center (only if advised by your carrier or tech

support).

• Click Apply Settings to activate SMS SMTP connection.

Note: The option to directly send SMS alerts via cellular modem was included in the Management GUI in ﬁrmware version 3.4. Advanced

console servers have had the gateway software (SMS Server Tools 3) embedded since version 3.1. However, this can only be accessed from

the command line to send SMS messages.

7.5.3 Send SNMP Trap Alerts

The Administrator can conﬁgure the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that resides on the console server to

send SNMP trap alerts to an NMS management application:

• Select Alerts & Logging: SNMP.

Notes: In ﬁrmware versions 3.10.2 and above, new SNMP status and trap MIBS provide more and better-structured SNMP status and traps

from console servers. There is an option in the SNMP menu to Use Legacy Notiﬁcations for the SNMP traps. Selecting this option means

the console server will send SNMP traps that are compatible with those sent in older ﬁrmware before the new MIBS were added, ensuring

that the ﬁrmware upgrade will not disrupt existing SNMP management.

When upgrading from old ﬁrmware that does not support the newer SNMP MIBs/traps (versions before 3.10.2) to ﬁrmware that does

support the new MIBs/traps:

• If the SNMP service was enabled and an SNMP manager was conﬁgured before upgrading the ﬁrmware, the console server will be

conﬁgured to use the legacy traps after upgrading.

• If the SNMP service was not enabled or SNMP manager was not conﬁgured before the upgrade, then the console server will be conﬁgured

to use the new SNMP traps after the upgrade (this will not have any effect until the SNMP service is turned on and an SNMP manager is

conﬁgured).

• When starting up in the new ﬁrmware after a conﬁguration erase, the console server will be conﬁgured to use the new SNMP traps.

• When upgrading from a ﬁrmware version that supports the new traps to a newer version that supports the new traps, the use legacy traps

setting should remain the same, as no checking on snmp service/manager conﬁguration is needed.

• Select the Primary SNMP Manager tab. The Primary and Secondary SNMP Manager tabs conﬁgure where and how

outgoing SNMP alerts and notiﬁcations are sent. If you require your console server to send alerts via SNMP, then a Primary

SNMP Manager must be conﬁgured (at a minimum). Optionally, a second SNMP Network Manager with its own SNMP

settings can be speciﬁed on the Secondary SNMP Manager tab.

Note: All console servers can also be conﬁgured to provide status information on demand using snmpd. This SNMP agent is conﬁgured

using the SNMP Service Detail on Alerts & Logging: SNMP (refer to 15. Advanced Conﬁguration for more information).
