  Reads

  Writes
• OPC Process Point threshold exceptions are mapped
  to SNMP Traps
• Custom OEM versions can support OPC Alarm and
  Event mapping to SNMP Traps

Process Point Threshold Monitoring

• The Agent monitors configured Process Points for
  thresholds and creates SNMP Traps
• The SNMP Variable OID sent with the Trap enables
  the SNMP Manager to monitor the OPC Process Point
  in Alarm
• A standard SNMP MIB allows the SNMP Manager to
  handle Traps as an array of Process Points in
  rows with attributes in columns
• Facilitates the implementation and operation of
  vendor specific Plug-Ins for SNMP Managers like
  HP OpenView, IBM Tivoli, or CA Unicenter

  carriers, networking vendors, and system
  integration companies in both the government and
  commercial sectors.

  telecommunications industry with Bell
  Laboratories, Siemens Corporation, and TRT
  Telecommunications designing and developing
  industry specific applications.
• More recent experience was in senior management
  positions with system integration companies
  providing IT facilities management, and Network
  integration, management, and outsourcing
  services.
• Before forming S4 Mr. Jones held multiple
  positions with Johnson Controls, Inc. Controls
  Group.
• As Manager, Architecture and Planning for the IT
  Communications team he played a key role in the
  design, implementation, operations, and
  management of the corporation-wide WAN.
• As Controls Group Representative for the Global
  Telecommunications and Connectivity team he
  influenced corporation-wide networking and
  telecommunications standards

• S4 is vendor agnostic and will not enter into

  if they were originated by S4.
