Step 2: Select ' Add new notification'
Step 3: Add notification using SNMP Traps. Insert sendQuick IP as the receiving Trap server
Step 4: Go to Devices and Click on the Sensor that you wish to configure.
Then Select on the Notifications Menu.
Step 5: Select the 'Add State Trigger' and select 'Send 'SNMP Trap to sendQuick Alert Plus' (sendQuick was configured in earlier steps as receiving device)
