Enterprise Management Service | 105
SNMP Management Console
You can use Dome Dashboard software or a console application on
your computer to obtain the following types of information from
each display running the Enterprise Management service in
conjunction with the SNMP service:
• Hardware identification
• Current operating parameters
• Test results
• Status messages
From your management console, you can also reconfigure a display
by changing selected operating parameters.
The Dome CXtra display agent is compatible with Dome Dashboard
software and any SNMP console. The Enterprise Management service
has been tested with Dome Dashboard software and the Castle Rock
SNMPc console application.
The SNMP Model
Managing network components with SNMP is based on a manager/
agent model. When managing a number of displays from a central
location, the computer associated with each display is designated as
the “agent.” The SNMP console application running at the central
location is designated as the “manager.” Routine communications
take place as a result of the manager polling each agent for
information and occasionally changing a data item on the agent.
Each agent can also be configured to initiate communication with
a manager as the result of a “trap” condition. Trap configuration
defines the set of conditions that cause the agent to send a message,
the message content, and the message recipient.
