Why do you use things like commAlarm.1 and not tpAlarmId? I guess this
is actually the same, but this is at least confusing. Further, you
need to specify the instance identifier in the variables that go into
the varbind list (see the relevant SNMP RFCs). Finally, the error
message means that the type of commAlarm.3 if OBJECT IDENTIFIER and
that scotty does not know an OBJECT IDENTIFIER under the descriptor
"Test". (In other words, scotty fails to convert the value "Test" into
the type required by commAlarm.2.)
