Introducing the EMS
1.1 EMS Overview
The Element Management System (EMS) retrieves management information from switches
using SNMP protocol.
An EMS is composed of Network Elements (NE) that represent resources in a Network
Management System (NMS). The network elements can represent a physical piece of
equipment on the network, the components of a device on the network, or parts of the network
itself. The EMS is designed to manage the ES-3124 Series switches in the NMS. The ES-3124
Series covers the ES-3124 and the ES-3124PWR.
1.1.1 SNMPc Network Manager
SNMPc is network management software produced by Castle Rock.
You must have SNMPc properly installed before you can use the EMS; please refer to the
appendices in this User’s Guide; go to the Castle Rock web site at
