the IP addresses of the computers that you want
the traps to be sent to. These destination comput-
ers must have SNMP manager software installed
and running in order to receive the messages.
SNMP manager software installation into the desti-
nation computers is the customers responsibility.
Consult with your IT specialist for assistance.

Authentication type is used to verify that the person
receiving the trap is the person the trap is intended
for. Authentication type choices are NONE, MD5,
or SHA, with SHA being the strongest encryption
type. When using authentication and/or encryption
the User Name is the name of the person to
receive the trap. If not, this is the community name
of the trap receiver. The Password is a string used
to encrypt and authenticate the user. It is only used
when authentication and/or encryption types are
enabled. The Encryption type is used to protect the
contents of the message from unauthorized receiv-
ers. Encryption type choices are NONE, DES, or
AES, with AES being the strongest supported
encryption type.

The Agent ID is a value that uniquely identifies the
agent sending the traps. The agent is software
which runs on the device being monitored and in
this case is the signal booster. The SNMP man-
ager software receives the traps and can be run on
your computer or another server on your network.
For traps that use encryption and/or authentication

the manager needs to be configured to receive
traps from the specified agent ID. This number is
shown on the SNMP submenu page underneath
the table, refer to figure 18.

Whenever values in the SNMP Configuration
screen are changed you must click on the submit
button to save the changes.

INITIAL SNMP SETUP

When the booster is installed the SNMP feature
should be setup for proper communications. There
are several steps required for proper setup of the
SNMP feature as discussed below.

1) Connect a laptop directly to the booster. Refer

to Appendix A for detailed instructions on how
to make a direct connection. The booster is
shipped from the factory setup for static IP
addressing and with a default IP address of
“192.168.1.1”. The factory default subnet mask
is “255.255.255.0”. Change the factory default
IP address of the booster to one provided by
your IT department.

2) Use the Network Configuration to setup the

DHCP as either active or inactive. When DHCP
is inactive the deck will be using a static IP and
the user must enter values for IP address, net-
mask, and gateway. Make sure you consult with

Figure 18: SNMP Configuration Submenu.
