AXIS 5600 User’s Manual Section 9: Management & Configuration
123
Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5600. All major
functions for print servers are supported.
General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including
a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects.
The AXIS 5600 SNMP implementation runs in TCP/IP and
NetWare (IPX) networks.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which
are references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm
triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data
bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a
standard database.
The AXIS 5600 supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and of the host
resources MIB. The AXIS 5600 also includes a private enterprise MIB,
the AXIS MIB.
