2-32 System Configuration
NEC Security
On systems that run the Windows 95 or Windows 98 operating system, NEC
Security features allow a local user to change NEC Security passwords and
enable a system administrator to control local machine devices, including printer
ports, serial ports, and diskette drives.
Note:
The NEC Security password is different from the
password(s) that can be set through the BIOS Setup Utility.
NEC SNMP Agent
The NEC Desktop Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent is an
extension to the Microsoft SNMP Agent. The NEC SNMP Agent permits a
network administrator to manage NEC PowerMate clients. The NEC SNMP
Agent performs the following major functions:
Assets Management — displays system serial number, product model,
and more.
Configuration Management — displays memory size and more.
Help Desk Support — provides information such as BIOS versions.
Alert Notification — provides alerts when thresholds are exceeded (for
example, when temperatures exceed specified limits in a computer).
SNMP-managed devices on a network send messages (traps) when a preset level
of device activity occurs. Notification of events with SNMP traps is sent to a
network manager upon reaching either a user-specified over-threshold or under-
threshold condition for any supported management information base (MIB)
variable.
The following paragraphs describe how to install and configure the NEC SNMP
Agent on Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows NT
systems.
!
CAUTION
Before installing the NEC SNMP Agent from the NEC Select
Install CD, refer to Appendix A, “Release Notes,” for the
correct order in which to install applications.
Installing the NEC SNMP Agent
The NEC SNMP Agent software is on the NEC Select Install CD. Install the
software on a Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT system as follows.
(The NEC SNMP Agent software can also be downloaded from the NEC CSD
website at
