APPENDIX
Starting the SNMP Function Setting
• Community Name
Community name acts as a password to screen accesses to the
SNMP agent of a particular network device. Type in the community
names of the SNMP agent. Before access is granted to a request
station, this station must incorporate a valid community name into
its request; otherwise, the SNMP agent will deny access to the
system.
Most network devices use “public” as default of their community
names. This value is case-sensitive.
SNMP Extension Agent Installation for Windows
You must have the administrative level permission to install SATA
RAID software. This procedure assumes that the SATA RAID hard-
ware and Windows are both installed and operational in your sys-
tem.
To enable the SNMP agent for Windows, congure Windows for
TCP/IP and SNMP services. The Areca SNMP Extension Agent le
is ARCSNMP.DLL.
Screen captures in this section are taken from a Windows XP instal-
lation. If you are running another version of Windows, your screens
may look different, but the Areca SNMP Extension Agent installa-
tion is essentially the same.
1. Insert the SATA RAID controller CD in the CD-ROM drive.
