Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5470e/570/670e.
All major functions for print servers are supported.
General Information SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management, including
a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of data objects.
The AXIS 5470e/570/670e SNMP implementation runs in the
TCP/IP environment.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages, which
are references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an alarm
triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained in data
bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a
standard database.
The AXIS 5470e/570/670e supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and
also includes a private enterprise MIB. Refer to The AXIS MIB, on
page 194.
