Configuring SNMP
The M Series SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) interface provides network administrators
with a common way to manage their network devices from a single remote location.
SNMP allows an administrator to query a number of devices to see their current status and
configuration. It also allows operators to change configuration values and configure trap notifications
to be sent when certain events occur.
1. Select Configuration > Communications > SNMP
2. Request the current state of the following controls.
•
Power
•
Main
•
Input
•
Channel
•
Lamp Life
•
Shutter
•
Host Name
•
IP Address
3. Request these status items directly.
•
Main software version
•
Global alarm status
•
Lamp 1 life (just Lamp Life is displayed if there is no second lamp)
•
Lamp 2 life (if applicable)
•
Lamp 1 status (just Lamp Life is displayed if there is no second lamp)
•
Lamp 2 status (if applicable)
4. Configure the SNMP traps.
A trap is a condition that SNMP monitors on the projector. When the condition is met, a
notification is sent by an SNMP notification or email message. Each traps condition can be set
to Disabled, SNMP Trap, Email or SNMP Trap + Email. The traps are defined in a series of
MIB files hosted directly on the projector. MIB files can be accessed from a web browser
window, using the address //<IP Address>/mibs/.
Operators are able to select from the following trap events to receive up to three SNMP traps
and three email notifications when they occur:
Event
Lamp end of life
Lamp end of life
cleared
Lamp fault
