Features
OkiNet Alert
OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows
administrators to proactively manage printers by being
immediately alerted to printing problems before they
are encountered by users. This remote management
utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps
from a list of printers chosen by the administrator,
without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the back-
ground on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user
with a sound or a screen flash when an error has oc-
curred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond
only to the specific error conditions that are of concern
to you. You can also launch batch files on given error
conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP
environments.
Enhanced Printer Status
The OkiLAN 6010e communicates with the printer to
monitor the current condition of the printer. This infor-
mation can be observed in real time via the utilities or
can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6010e to generate
traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP
OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.
For bidirectional capable printers the OkiLAN 6010e
can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel
message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.
