8.7 Applications run on the Management PC

♦NEC ESMPRO User Group

To use applications run on the management PC, let the user belong as a member of the NEC ESMPRO User Group (by

default, Administrators).

♦Coexistence of NEC ESMPRO Manager with other vendor's SNMP management

application

When another vendor's SNMP management application which receives an SNMP trap is used along with NEC

ESMPRO Manager, one of them may fail to receive the SNMP trap due to a conflict between the two applications.

Through the following procedures, the situation can be avoided.

[Work Around 1]

If the other vendor's SNMP management application supports the trap reception function of standard SNMP Trap

Service, you can change the setting of NEC ESMPRO Manager according to the instruction below.

Select [Options] - [Customize] - [My Manager] on the Operation Window, and change the Method of receiving an

SNMP Trap to [Use SNMP Trap Service].

The SNMP Trap Service is installed together with the SNMP Service. However, it does not start by

default. Start [Services] from [Control Panel] to start up the SNMP Trap Service (It is useful that you set

[Automatic] for [Startup type].).

Note that if you set to use SNMP Trap Service, the name of the NetWare server (host) that sent a trap via the IPX

protocol cannot be identified.

[Work Around 2]

By utilizing the [TCP/IP report to Manager] function of NEC ESMPRO Agent, the alert reception function of NEC

ESMPRO Manager operates normally.

TCP/IP report to Manager : Transfers an alert from a server to the NEC ESMPRO Manager using

an original protocol.

Note that the operability of the SNMP Trap reception function on the other vendor's SNMP management application

cannot be guaranteed

♦Transfer of DMI events on Inter-Manager Communication

DMI events are not transferred between the Inter-Manager Communication.

♦Installing other DMI management application and manager on the same machine

In case when other DMI management application is installed to the same machine, receiving DMI events with

AlertViewer may not work properly.

Be sure not to install NEC ESMPRO Manager and DMI management application on the same machine.
