Special Features
SNMP
The LevelOne Printer Server supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
The LevelOne Printer Server’s SNMP support allows network supervisors to monitor and
control the LevelOne Printer Server using network management platforms such as HP
OpenView, IBM SystemView, etc. This is accomplished through the SNMP agent and the
SNMP MIB.
The agent (device software) responds to standard SNMP commands and reports device
configuration and conditions. When a change in condition occurs, the SNMP agent will
send a message (a Trap) to the associated management station.
The LevelOne Printer Server’s SNMP MIB is a collection of objects that are monitored and
controlled using SNMP’s get and set commands. The appropriate .MIB file must be
imported into your SNMP management program using the Import-Compile command.
Check your management program for details on this procedure.
The MIB files are in the provided in the \PS\MIB folder on the CD-ROM.
Use the Import - Compile command of your SNMP program to import the Mib file for your
model.
