Chapter 4. SNMP
In general, SNMP agents support two types of access rights:
Read-only the SNMP agent accepts and processes only SNMP getRequest
and getNextRequest commands from management stations
which have a read-only community name.
Read-write the SNMP agent accepts and processes all the SNMP
commands received from a management station with a read-write
community name. SNMP agents are usually configured to send traps to
management stations having read-write communities.
4.6 Configuring the SNMP Agent
The agent for the FMUX04 resides in the SNMP option card installed in the FMUX04. Initial
configuration of the agent is accomplished via the RS-232 Control Port of the FMUX04.
Refer to Chapter 3, section 3.5 for operation of the console for the FMUX04 and the login
procedures. From the 'Configure System Status' menu select "7", SNMP Configuration. Note:
No SNMP configuration is available when logged into the REMOTE unit.

Explanation
The SNMP agent is the process that runs in the SNMP module and has the ability to
control the FMUX04. The agent requires network configuration, ie. IP address, subnet mask
and default gateway settings.
The manager configuration provides the needed information to the agent for the network
manager on your network. This information can be assigned for up to four different
management workstations. The information set includes the IP address of the management
workstation, the access rights (read/write or read only) which are provided by the community
string, plus if the agent is to send traps (unsolicited messages) to the management
workstation.
The TFTP server is required if doing any software upgrade of the SNMP agent. The two
configuration parameters are the IP address of the TFTP server and the path to the upload file.
