1. SNMP Description
The SNMP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from devices over Ethernet using the
SNMP version 1 protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server (SNMP Agent) or Client.
Max Nodes Supported:
FieldServer Mode Nodes Comments
Client 25 Each Node is specified by a unique IP address
Server 1 As a Server the SNMP driver can act as a single Node only
The Client can be configured to read values specified by their SNMP Object Identifiers (OID’s), which are
defined in the MIB file (Management Information Base) of the target device. When acting as an SNMP
Agent (Server), the driver makes the contents of specified integer data arrays available to any SNMP
Client. The FieldServer MIB file sets out the OIDs to use.
The current version of the driver can send and receive SNMP traps. The following SNMP data types are
supported:
• INTEGER
• OCTET_STREAM
• TIMER_TICKS
• STRING
The maximum number of traps currently supported is 255.
The FieldServer Enterprise ID is 6347. MIB files are generated automatically from the FieldServer
configuration files. A selection of standard MIB-2 OIDs are supported to allow interaction with popular
Network Management packages.
