Please note that the amounts listed in the available upload and download under
Miscellaneous Settings will restrict total traffic through Optinet. Make sure that the
amounts entered in these fields are the correct amounts for your network.
The next option, Web Time Online seconds per hit, is used to calculate the amount of time
for the Web Time Online Report (Report -> Internet Usage -> Web Time Online). Please
note that the Web Time Online report is an estimated value generated by counting the
number of hits per page, and then multiplying the number of hits by the number listed
under this setting.
The default setting of 20 seconds is an approximation based on typical business usage.
However, in other circumstances the values may need to be altered.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) can be used to monitor the state of Optinet
and poll the device to verify its CPU, hard drive usage, and other pertinent information.
SNMP works by a software component called an agent that runs on Optinet and reports
information via SNMP to the managing systems. The managing system can retrieve the
information through the GET and WALK protocol operations. Although you will have to
supply the SNMP managing system to retrieve the information, the following fields will allow
you to interact with The Optinet SNMP agent.
The first field, SNMP Read Only Community is the password used for the GET requests and
allows access to the Optinet SNMP agent. The default setting for this field is public, but the
Read Only Community password can be changed to the desired password with this menu.
Don’t forget to Apply the changes after altering the field. Afterwards, you can use the SNMP
GET command to poll the following values from Optinet.
