SNMP Configuration
The IP Setup menu item in the ICIM menu allows you to enter an IP address, IP
subnet, and Gateway IP in order to configure the ICIM for remote status monitoring
and control by an SNMP network management system.

SNMP Considerations
The following items should be considered when implementing SNMP.
The SNMP connection is made through the Ethernet port on the front of the
ICIM. (Use 10baseT cable with an RJ-45 connector.) To meet the requirements of
GR1089-CORE, a shielded cable must be used and both ends must be grounded.
The network management system (NMS) must be installed behind a firewall to
prevent any ill-intentioned persons with an SNMP manager from accessing and
tampering with the ICIM.
When the ICIM has to handle excessive SNMP traffic, it will respond slowly to
both SNMP control and front panel input. If this occurs, reduce the update rate
of the SNMP manager.
Basic SNMP Setup
Refer to your SNMP manager documentation or MIB information for instructions on
implementing SNMP. Before you can use and reconfigure SNMP services, you need
to know the community strings in your network and the IP addresses or computer
names for SNMP management hosts to which traps are sent.
