Troubleshooting & Maintenance
B.7 Using SNMP
SNMP stands for Simple Network Management Protocol. A
full description of SNMP is beyond the scope of this manual.
However, if you’re familiar with SNMP, you can use this as a
troubleshooting tool.
As the name suggests SNMP is a protocol designed to allow
control of a whole network. The IOLAN+ provides an SNMP
agent, this means that it responds to SNMP requests. It does
not have the facility to generate SNMP requests to monitor
another system.
A host machine running the client SNMP package can
request any of the defined variables. It can also set a limited
number of the communications server variables thus
allowing configuration of the unit to be done remotely.
The list of supported variables from MIBI & MIBII can be
found on the Chase web sites.
The SNMP trap function is set up using the Trap function
screen. This is accessed from the
Administration Menu .
