Software
Download
The NetPath 100 system software (firmware) is stored in flash memory. A new version
of the software can be downloaded to the unit for software upgrade, or for restoration
in the event an error is detected in the flash storage.
A description of the software download process is provided in Section 5, “Diagnos-
tics,” of this manual.
Trap Reporting
The NetPath 100 provides an MIB which includes standard MIB-II groups and also
contains a Private MIB Extension which supports the issuance of unique Traps. Traps
are issued either in-band or dial-out (out-of-band) via the on-board modem, depending
on the specific fault detected.
Section 5, “Diagnostics” of this manual lists the MIB objects and the Trap reporting
path for each.
Event Log
NetPath 100 includes an Event Log which captures Trap occurrences and logs them
into a table for SNMP retrieval. The table stores up to 255 of the latest occurred events.
The log table includes the following:
•
A unique event number for each event. Maximum number is 65,536 after
which the count restarts. The count is also restarted by a unit reset or power up.
•
A relative time-stamp which counts from when the unit last started operation.
•
A description of the event, including any data included in the Trap regarding
that event.
