Resetting Cumulative Statistics
You can reset the IP Cumulative Traffic Statistics by clicking the Reset button. Also, this window
automatically resets all fields to 0 when the MAXCS system is shut down and restarted. Statistics gathered
before the reset are not saved.
Using SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used in network management systems to monitor network-
attached devices for conditions that warrant administrative attention.
This MAXCS SNMP configuration, used with a third-party management console (see the next section), helps
you see the MAXCS status, so you can use MAXCS more securely. Using an SNMPv3 agent, MAXCS sends
SNMP traps to the management console when alarming conditions are detected.
Note:
SNMP traps are sent by the AltiGen services SPServ (Softswitch up, Softswitch down traps), AltiKeep
(warm start trap), and AltiServ (all other traps), so those services must be started, or the traps will not
be sent.
SNMP traps are logged in text files: SNMP_Altiserv.txt, SNMP_DinaProxy.txt, SNMP_GlobalAppearance.txt,
and SNMP_SPServ.txt.
SNMP Management Console
To use SNMP, you need an SNMP management console that is SNMPv3-supported for receiving and
collection. AltiGen recommends MG-Soft Trap Ringer Professional Edition, available from MGSoft
Corporation, at http://www.mg-soft.com/tringer.html.
You can get help about how to configure an SNMP User Account and Management Console Port in that
product’s Help system.
Note:
AltiGen’s IANA Private Enterprise Number is 13679.
