Connection configuration

Define a connection used to communicate with the remote.

Provided that the physical data link supports the multi-drop topology, you can configure one or more remotes to share the same connection record. For further information on the connection table, refer to volume 1 of the RealTime Administrator documentation.

To configure a connection

1. Navigate to the Main tab in the connection Row Edit dialog box.

   

2. In the Protocol field, select SNMP.

3. Select Enable Connection FEP.

   Note: FEP stands for Front End Processor.

4. In the Protocol Specific Configuration field, enter SNMP.

5. Restart the RealTime service to load the oasysSNMPFEP(FEP) process.

6. Select the Physical Connection Edit tab.

   

7. In the Term. Server/Host Name field, enter the IP address of the system where the FEP process (oasysSNMPFEP) runs.

   For example, if the SNMP services are running locally on a standalone system, enter 127.0.0.1.

8. Enter the Port Number that your FEP process will use for listening.

   Note: This is not the default SNMP service port (161) used by the SNMP server.
