OkiNet Alert

OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows
administrators to proactively manage printers by being
immediately alerted to printing problems before they
are encountered by users. This remote management
utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps
from a list of printers chosen by the administrator,
without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the
background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the
user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has
occurred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to
respond only to the specific error conditions that are of
concern to you. You can also launch batch files on
given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used
in IPX and IP environments.

Enhanced Printer Status

The OkiLAN 6100e+ communicates with the printer to
monitor the current condition on the printer. This
information can be observed in real time via the utilities
or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6100e+ to
generate traps to your SNMP management utility of
choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.
For bi-directional capable printer the OkiLAN 6100e+
can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel
message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.
