AXIS 540/640 User’s Guide Management and Configuration

Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote monitoring

and configuration of the AXIS 540/640. All major functions applicable to print

servers are supported.

The AXIS 540/640 supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and the host resource MIB.

It also includes a private enterprise MIB called AXIS MIB. To make the full use of the

SNMP support you must have an SNMP tool that allows you to install private

enterprise MIBs.

The AXIS MIB can be downloaded from:

• the /software/prt_srv/utility/mib/1_14 folder on the AXIS Online CD.

• the Axis WWW home page at http://www.axis.com/.

• the AXIS 540/640 using FTP.

Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your SNMP software:

1. Log in to the AXIS 540/640 using FTP.

2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the SNMP host.

3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your SNMP software

documentation.

Using HP Administration Tools

The AXIS 540/640 is compatible with the HP JetAdmin and the HP Web JetAdmin

printer management software. This means that you may use either tool to install and

configure your printer devices via your AXIS 540/640 print server. You can also use

them to monitor the current status of your AXIS 540/640 and other HP JetAdmin-

or HP Web JetAdmin-compatible devices connected to your network.

However, to enable support for the HP administration tools, you must set the

HP_JETADMIN parameter of the AXIS 540/640 to YES.

Important:

Even though the AXIS 540/640 is compatible with the HP JetAdmin tool, the AXIS 540/640

behaves slightly different than an HP print server in certain situations. Please refer to the AXIS

540/640 User’s MAnual, available on the Axis Online CD, for further information.
