The Trap Receiver Rules are where you configure this IoTServer to receive SNMP traps sent by other agents. The data received from or derived from those traps is stored in local data objects.

Set source info.jpg

The Set Source Info button is a diagnostic tool. You do not want multiple client functions (from all protocols combined) trying to store data into the same local object. Doing so would result in erroneous data (data would jump back and forth showing the most recently received data from any source). If you only have one source of data, then this isn't an issue. But if there will be multiple sources of data, then use the Set Source Info button to "claim" objects for this protocol function (e.g. SNMP Trap Receive).

If objects have already been claimed in another protocol and you try to claim the same objects, you will see one or more error messages displayed at the top of the screen. Go to the Data Objects -> Object Status page to see where objects have been claimed. The Clear Source Info button is also found on the Data Objects -> Object Status page. To clear the claims and try again, use that button. Clicking the Set Source Info button more than once will also result in error messages since objects have already been claimed once.
