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 or Microsoft Windows NT
®
