1.2.4 SNMP Support
Freeway software provides an SNMP v1/v2c/v3-compliant SNMP agent that supports
read-only SNMP access to Freeway-supported MIBs. In addition to the usual system-
related and IP-network-related SNMP OIDs, additional OIDs which are specific to
Freeway and to some ICP protocols are available. These additional SNMP OIDs are
specified in these two files located on the Freeway disk drive:
/usr/local/freeway/include/RS-232-MIB.txt
/usr/local/freeway/include/SIMPACTFREEWAY-MIB.txt
1.3 Freeway Server Configurations
The software on each Freeway Server is pre-configured at the Protogate factory to fit
individual customer needs. When delivered, a Freeway can have one of two types of
configurations: standard and custom. Please read the sections below to determine the
type of your Freeway Server.
1.3.1 Standard Freeway
A Freeway configuration is considered “standard” when there is no additional software
(SRAs) loaded on the Freeway server besides the Freeway OS. A client program accesses
the WAN lines on a standard Freeway via the DLI API. The following features apply to
a standard Freeway:
• Freeway disk drive is usually a Flash drive
• Installation CDs are only Freeway OS and protocol software
• Client access to protocols via DLI API library on client system
• Freeway server is passive after boot (no ICP or network connections are started
until requested by client)
• Freeway server may be shut down by turning off the power switch
