Is it a trap?—SNMP agents can proactively notify the manager via a 
“trap” (for example, “I am restarting”). The SNMP module can activate 
traps when the system restarts, when one of the network links changes 
state, or when an SNMP message that fails authentication is received. 
Traps appear on SNMP management tools as events with a trap code. Since 
most SNMP management tools permit configuration of both the event 
message and the alarm severity, it is recommended that the system manager 
configure T1 and Gateway SIM traps so that they are easy to spot and 
understand. For a list of generic codes, see Appendix H. 
The following figures provide examples of an event log before configuration 
(Figure 4-17) and an event log after configuration (Figure 4-18).

Managing Notifications 
MeetingPlace can automatically send out e-mail notifications to all invited 
participants whenever users schedule, reschedule, or cancel meetings. This 
depends on the gateway products purchased and a user’s profile preference 
settings. Notifications are not distributed for reservationless meetings. 
The MeetingPlace Notification Option requires little monitoring or 
maintenance. However, situations may arise in which users need help 
determining the notification status of a particular meeting or request. This 
section describes how to review and diagnose any problems that may occur.
