SNMP Interface
Components connected to the network are monitored using network
management software in many companies. The management software
(“SNMP-Manager”) communicates with the network components via SNMP
(Simple Network Management Protocol). You can integrate the Forum 5004/
5008/5012 communications system into the SNMP-based network
management. There is a Windows service program for this (“SNMP Agent”).
The SNMP Agent communicates with the Forum 5004/5008/5012
communications system via the CSTA interface. The status information
queried via the CSTA interface is forwarded by the SNMP Agent to the
network management software.
Note:
The SNMP Agent uses the CSTA interface of the Forum 5004/
5008/5012 communications system in an operating mode so
designated. This is why no additional CSTA licence key is
required for operation.
The SNMP Agent supports SNMP Traps after SNMP version 2. In case the
SNMP Agent cannot be accessed, the Forum 5004/5008/5012
communications system stores up to 100 error or status messages. Also note
that there is a SNMP description file (MIB, Management Information Base) for
the Forum 5004/5008/5012 communications system which can be found
on the product CD.
Installing SNMP Agent
Install the SNMP Agent on a Windows PC. Select a PC which is usually in
continuous use, e. g. a Windows server.
1.
Log on to the PC as a user with administrator rights.
2.
Start the installation program for the SNMP Agent (file name:
“Forum5000_Setup.exe”). The program is on the product CD in the

4.
As you continue with the installation assistant the
IP address
step is
displayed. Enter the IP address of the Forum 5004/5008/5012 commu-
nications system.
5.
Terminate the installation assistant with the
