SNMP
Overview
If you are using SNMP to manage/configure the IOLAN, or to view statistics or traps, you must set
up a User in SNMP version 3 or a Community in SNMP version 1,2 to allow your SNMP manager to
connect to the IOLAN; this can be done in the DeviceManager, WebManager, CLI, or Menu. You
must then load the
perle-ds.MIB (found on the CD-ROM packaged with the IOLAN) file into your
SNMP manager before you connect to the IOLAN.
Note:
Ensure that the SNMP service found in the Security, Services page is enabled (by default it
is enabled).

Secondary Host If the IOLAN cannot communicate with the primary host, then the IOLAN will

be displayed on the host’s monitor.
