CHAPTER 7:  Alarm Configuration

7.6. 
The Invalid Access Lockout Alarm
The Invalid Access Lockout Alarm can provide notification when the Outlet 
Managed PDU has locked the Network port due to repeated, invalid attempts to 
access command mode.  Normally, the Invalid Access Lockout feature (discussed in 
Section 5.3.2) will lock the network port whenever the Outlet Managed PDU detects 
that a user-defined number of invalid passwords have been entered at the Network 
Port.  When the Invalid Access Lockout Alarm is properly configured and enabled as 
described in this section, the Outlet Managed PDU can also provide notification via 
Email, Syslog Message or SNMP Trap.
Notes:
•  In order for this alarm to function, Invalid Access Lockout 
parameters must first be configured and enabled as described in 
Section 5.3.2.
•  When an Invalid Access Lockout occurs, the Outlet Managed 
PDU can still lock the network port as described in Section 5.3.2, 
and can also send an email, Syslog Message and/or SNMP trap if 
properly configured.
•  If desired, the Outlet Managed PDU can be configured to count 
Invalid Access attempts and provide notification when the counter 
exceeds a user defined trigger level, without actually locking the 
port in question.  To do this, enable the Invalid Access Lockout 
Alarm as described here, but when you configure Invalid Access 
Lockout parameters as described in Section 5.3.2, set the Lockout 
Attempts and Lockout Duration as you would normally, and then 
set the "Lockout Enable" parameter to "Off."
•  In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide Email alarm 
notification, communication parameters must first be defined as 
described in Section 5.9.11.
•  In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide Syslog Message 
notification, Syslog parameters must first be defined and Syslog 
Messages must be enabled as described in Section 5.9.2 and 
Section 11.
•  In order for the Outlet Managed PDU to provide SNMP Trap 
notification when this alarm is triggered, SNMP parameters must 
first be defined, and SNMP Traps must be enabled as described 
in Section 5.9.7 and Section 12.
