AIX 4.3.3, Netview 6.0.2, Framework 3.7.1

TASK: When a core/ switch (Layer2) device (cisco) goes down -Link Down Trap, it 
should execute a pop-up window using ovwbeep stating the device name and text 
name of port. It should also send out 1 email to a separate group. (The pop up 
window should be displayed every time the Link goes down).

I did $* on the trap to display all fields and got the following:

[1] mgmt.mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifEnter.ifIndex.163 (Integer): 163
[2] mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminstatus.163(integer):1
[3]mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifOperstatus.163 (interger):2
[4]ifMib.ifMibobjects.ifXTable.ifXentry.ifName.163(octetString): 6/41

So, I can use $1 and $4 but this only gives me Index number (for example 163) 
and the Port number 6/41

Now, I want the the name of the device which sent the trap and also the text 
name of the port (for example 6/41 is actually name NetviewBox). 

I did an snmpwalk on the device and found the followinginfo I could use:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4.x.x the last 2 x.x are the port 6.41 and it gives 
the ascii textname.

so I have script that will do an snmpget on above. The only variables needed 
are the name of the device and port

portname=`/usr/OV/bin/snmpget $1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.4.$2`
echo 'Port name =' ${portname##*:}

Question: How can i export the name of the device to be used in the script.

I am having problems exporting the right variables. My popup window works fine 
but the only info I have displayed are:

CORE DEVICE DOWN

The email has:

163 6/41 CORE DEVICE DOWN..

I want the popup window to have the right info--name of sending device and text 
name of port (on sending device).

Any suggestions..
