5.3 Requirements
To forward or receive traps using the SNMP Link you will need the
following items in addition to the basic requirements:
•
A Network Interface Card (NIC) or other device suitable for
connecting the PCNC computer to your TCP/IP network.
•
An NDIS driver for the above.
•
Software to support TCP/IP, called Chameleon
TCP/IP for
Windows (preferably version
4.5
or later), by NetManage
.
•
PCNC’s SNMP extension software, which is supplied on Disk 3.
5.3.1 NDIS-compliant network interface card
The NIC should be installed on your PC’s motherboard, to connect the
computer to the network.
5.3.2 NDIS driver
The driver is a piece of software that allows multiple protocol stacks to
share a single network interface card. It may need to be configured with
an IRQ number and other information before the card can be used.
Refer to the manual supplied with the driver for details.
5.3.3 Chameleon
The Chameleon
TCP/IP for Windows package from NetManage
is
a group of programs designed to communicate with a wide variety of
network systems. This software has integrated SNMP support, and
PCNC uses it to transfer traps to and from the TCP/IP network.
The TCP/IP support program is called Newt and is loaded up
automatically by PCNC if the SNMP Link is enabled. If you are using
Chameleon earlier than version
4.5
, you may need to run the SNMPD
program before you load PCNC, otherwise Newt will not load and you
will be unable to use the SNMP Link.
Also included with Chameleon is the FTP program which you will require
to transfer the MIB file to your NMS.
See Section
5.5
for details of how to configure Chameleon.
