Configuring the Remoteye III via SNMP
The RemotEye III supports SNMP. Any workstation with SNMP management software can manage/monitor a
Toshiba UPS through RemotEye III.
Note: This section will focus entirely on RemotEye III operation.
System Requirements
There are two components of an SNMP system: an Agent and a Manager. The Agent collects information about a
network node. The Manager collects information from the Agent.
The RemotEye III provides an Agent for a Toshiba UPS (1600XP, 4200FA, or 4300). The Manager is a software
application that is provided separately. A workstation running Manager Software is considered a Network
Management Station (NMS).
There are many Manager Applications available. Some commonly used applications are listed below:
•
RemotRadar V3.00 (Visit
www.ToshibaUPS.com
for more information)
•
Cabletron Spectrum
•
DEC Polycenter
•
HP OpenView
•
IBM NetView
•
Novell Managewise
•
SunNet Manager
Preliminary Issues
There are several pieces of information to collect before setting up the RemotEye III and an NMS. As a bare
minimum, know the following prior to system setup:
•
The IP Address of the RemotEye III.
•
The Gateway Address of the RemotEye III.
•
The IP Address of the Network Management Station.
RemotEye III (Agent) Settings
Before using the RemotEye III in an SNMP environment, the RemotEye III must be programmed to coordinate with a
particular NMS.
Examining Network Pathway
Several RemotEye III parameters determine the networks available for RemotEye III data transmission. These
parameters are the IP Address, the Gateway Address, and the MIB System Group.
The IP Address of RemotEye III must place it on the same network as the NMS. If the two elements are not located
on the same network, a gateway between the RemotEye III and the NMS must exist.
The Gateway Address indicated in RemotEye III must identify a network device providing access to the network of
the NMS. For instruction on defining which gateway RemotEye III uses, consult the System Group section on page
27.
The MIB System Group of RemotEye III must match that of the NMS (see the section titled System Group on page
27 for further information). This parameter will allow an NMS within the group to access RemotEye III data.
