1. Log in to the Axis Network Print Server using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS software
documentation.
The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
• Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the Axis Network Print
Server configuration from the NMS program. Refer to
List
, on page 137.
• Printer status and unit administration objects - used for monitoring
Axis Network Print Server print jobs and storing parameter changes
permanently.
• Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (axis.mib) with any text
editor.
When using the TCP/IP protocol (and if the printer driver permits), the
print server can use SNMP Status to find out if the printer is ready to
accept a new job. See "SNMP Device Index" on page 149.
After installing the Axis Network Print Server into the NetWare
environment, you can manage your Axis Network Print Server, using
either PCONSOLE, Novell's NetWare Administrator, or iPrint.
Some useful features provided by the NetWare Administrator are
described in more detail below:
The Printer Status menu, detailed below, shows the status of an active
print job serviced by an Axis Network Print Server network print server. It
displays detailed information concerning the active job including, Print
Queue, print job description, size of print file, percentage of job
completed, etc. You can also abort or pause the print job from this menu.
