SNMP
1-20 Print Server Installation Manual
1.4 SNMP
The SNMP protocol is used for providing and transferring
management information within the network. The SNMP
architecture is based on one or more management stations and
several network elements with one or more implemented network
management agents. The SNMP protocol is used for
communication between the management stations and the agents.
The management information is stored in so-called management
information base (MIB).
Private MIB of Print
Server
As an agent, the print server provides the standard MIB-II and a
private MIB. All print server parameters and status information
are stored in the private MIB. Read the "Parameter Description"
section on page B-3 of the User Manual. The private MIB is stored
in the print server on delivery and can be installed immediately.
On the CD-ROM KYOCERA Printer Library, you will find a
formal description of the private MIB objects.
Function The system administrator can query and configure the print server
parameters from a management tool, such as OpenView or
TransView, via the SNMP protocol. In case of an error, such as
'Paper empty', the print server automatically sends an error
message, the co-called trap, to pre-defined IP or IPX addresses. To
this end, the IP and IPX addresses must be configured and the
traps must be activated using the print server homepage, the
KyoNetCon or FTP parameter transfer.
Requirements When using SNMP, make sure that:
! The TCP/IP protocol or the IPX protocol is installed on any
computer from which you want to print.
! The print server is connected, and the printer is turned on.
! The IP address is saved in the print server.
