SNMP alarms are typically used when the alarm receiver does not have access to the EcoStruxure Building Operation software or when a central unit, for example the IT department, wants to collect alarms from different sources in one place.
You can send notifications as SNMP traps from any EcoStruxure BMS server using SNMP version 3. The EcoStruxure BMS server can send one or many traps depending on the setting.
You configure the SNMP trap to send the notification message.
Notifications sent using SNMP trap are written to the event log.
SNMP is also used to send information regarding the status of an Automation server. For more information, see Automation Servers Overview ..
