802.11n Wireless Print Server User Manual
54
A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software
can access the print server device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored
in the device. The Network Management Systems are available from many
third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.
When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS
software called SNMP manager, you need to provide a community name in each
SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server supports up to two
community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with
Read Only access right in default.
When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP
manager through SNMP traps. Following list summaries SNMP trap messages that
the print server will send out.
Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description
Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the print server
fails, a link down trap message is generated; if the
network interface comes back to life, a link up trap
message is sent.
Cold Start or Warm Start When the print server restarts, the cold start or
warm start trap message is generated.
Authentication Failure When the print server received a SNMP request
with a community name that does not match the
community name the print server is configured
with (stored in the print server's
memory), an
authentication failure trap message is generated.
In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are
available for updating.
MIB Object Names Description
system.sysContact Indicates the network administrator's name.
system.sysName Indicates the print server's name for identification.
system.sysLocation Indicates the location of the print server.
snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps
Enables or disables the function of sending SNMP
Authentication Failure trap message to the network
administrator, if the community name within a
SNMP request is not correct.
