Monitoring With AIX NetView/6000

The AIX NetView/6000 program can manage any IP-addressable
device with an SNMP agent.

NetView/6000 can be used to set a network topology, monitor a
network, diagnose problems, and measure network performance.

Through its MIB Browser, information about the resources affecting
an event (such as an alarm) can be obtained.

The Remote Management Software

The remote management software utility is a versatile and dynamic
program. It allows you to organize all of the printers in your office
remotely in a single database, download software and printer
settings from a host computer with a single mouse click, and use a
virtual operator's panel to configure printers in the same room or on
the other side of the world. Refer to

Remote Management Software

User’s Manual or www.Printronix.com for more details on this tool.

Setting The SNMP Community Name

The default SNMP read-only community name is “public” and
cannot be changed.

Change the SNMP R/W community name with the command:

set user passwd snmp com_name

save

where com_name is the new SNMP R/W community name.

The default is no R/W community name.

NOTE: Changing SNMP community names or access rights may

hinder or disable applications that are monitoring your
printers.
