Introduction

FS6300 NMS User Manual 

Before you can receive alarm indications, you must first configure the alarms and clocking for the NMS. When 
you discover your network for the first time, there will be alarms because the synchronization clocking has not 
been fully configured yet. 

In order to configure alarms, you need to configure the IP address of the NMS server which traps the alarm 
reports from each of the cards in the network. By default, the Alarm Trap IP address is 0.0.0.0, so no alarms 
are detected by the NMS. 

You can configure the Alarm Trap Manager in two different ways, by right-clicking on a network node in the 
Geographical Areas section, or by right-clicking on a card in the Chassis section.

To configure the IP address for the Alarm Trap field for each card:

1. From the menu tree on the left side of the screen, select the Geographical Area for the node that you want 

to configure.

2. In the main window, right-click on the Network Node, then select Alarm Trap Manager. 

The Configure Alarm Trap Manager window dispalys. You may configure the Alarm Trap Manager for 
any particular card in the chassis’ subnet or you can configure all of the cards in the subnet at once.

3. Select the card that you would like to configure from the Select Card drop-down menu. If you would like 

to configure all of the cards at the same time, select the Configure All Cards checkbox at the bottom of the 
screen.

4. Enter the IP address of the NMS server in the Alarm Trap Manager 1 field.
