Viewing Received Traps

Traps information may be viewed in the alarm console. Route traps to the alarm console by linking the ConsoleRecipient to the appropriate AlarmClass component, as shown in Figure 16.

You can use the alarm console to view the trap data in the Alarm Data column. However, the Alarm Data column is very long and not totally viewable in the alarm console view. To read the Alarm Data information, double-click on the row that you want to read, and display the Open Alarm Sources view and then the Open Alarm Records dialog box, as shown in the Figure 17. The Alarm Record dialog box provides a full description of the message.
