A Raise command causes transmission of the “Raise On”
OID, instructing the SNMP device to
latch in the On condition.
(The “Lower Off” OID, if programmed, is also sent at this time.) In
most situations
it is only necessary to program the “Raise On” OID value.

A Lower command causes transmission of the “Lower
On” OID, instructing the SNMP device
to unlatch, or turn off. (The “Raise Off” OID, if programmed, is also sent at this time.) In most
situations it is only necessary to program the “Lower On” OID value.
In this way, the latching function for SNMP devices is analogous to the operation of latching relays. See

button in the SNMP Command Binder invokes the
identify the desired SNMP parameter (OID) for the raise or lower function. The Command Binder also lets
you specify the data type and data value to be sent to the SNMP device along with the selected OID.
Inclusion of Meter Channel values and Status Values as SNMP command values enables development of
sophisticated dynamic interactions and automated functions.
