Toshiba RemotEye III User Manual page 97

Granting Write Access
The RemotEye III controls permissions for workstations. Any workstation attempting to alter UPS parameters
through RemotEye III must have permission.
By default, the RemotEye III will allow any workstation the ability to write new configuration information to
RemotEye III and its attached Toshiba UPS. This is accomplished through SNMP "sets" using the default read/write
community string.
To restrict access to only NMS machines, the SNMP Communities and Control Group of RemotEye III must be
programmed accordingly. See the section entitled SNMP Communities on page 32 for details on adding workstations
to the SNMP Communities.
If the IP address of the NMS is not added to the SNMP Communities with Read/Write permissions, the NMS
software can only read the status of the UPS, and changes to UPS parameters will be prohibited.
NMS (Manager) Settings
There are two areas of consideration when coordinating an NMS with a RemotEye III. First, the Manager software
on the NMS must be prepared to handle the RemotEye III Management Information Base (MIB), and second, the
Manager must be configured to receive any traps the RemotEye III sends.
Importing the MIB File
The MIB file is contained on the included CD-ROM. This file describes the information that is attainable from a
Toshiba UPS.
The Toshiba MIB file must be manually entered (imported or compiled) into the Manger database. For instruction on
incorporating private MIB files into the Manager, consult the Manager Software documentation.
MIB Import Example
This example shows how to incorporate the Toshiba MIB into the Manager application HP OpenView Workgroup
Node Manager. The software runs on the Windows platform.
Launch HP OpenView Workgroup Node Manager.
From the Control pull down menu, click SNMP Manager → Manage Database → Select → (map to the MIB file,
ToshibaRMTI3.mib, on the included CDROM) → click ADD.
Click "Close" to close the SNMP Manager Database.
Specifying Trap Receivers
To send traps to an NMS, the NMS must be designated as a trap receiver of the RemotEye III. See Trap Receiver
Table section on page 34 for instruction on defining a trap receiver.
Configuring the Trap Receiver
The trap handler of a Manager application varies between software developers. For specific information about a trap
handler, consult the Manager Software documentation.
Follow the following steps to setup trap receivers.
