NMS (SNMP) Configuration
The NMS/Printer port can be connected to an SNMP network
management station such as HP OpenView (or Sun's NetManager) by
either LAN or modem. Either method must support UDP/IP/SLIP over
RS-232.
Either of two methods can be used to connect the unit to the SNMP
station. Both methods require UDP/IP/SLIP over RS-232. The most
straightforward method is to connect the unit’s NMS port to an intelligent
port on a router, hub or terminal server. The intelligent port must be
configured to run SLIP protocol. The port speed must be set as well as the
IP address for the port and the port's remote device (in this case, the
Access Syst em56 unit). Samples of these connections are illustrated in
Providing SNMP Manager Access, on page 6-33.
An optional method allows the SNMP Manager to access the unit’s
product without a server. This is accomplished via a direct or dial
connection over an RS-232 port on the SNMP station. The SNMP
Network Management System must support UDP/IP/SLIP over the
asynchronous serial link. This connection is illustrated in Fig u re6-5,
SNMP Manager Access via Direct or Dial-up Connection on page 6-35.
