4.5 Remote Notification

4.5.1 Overview

If you use this function, from a remote device through the network, you can check
hardware conditions that can only be checked beside this equipment without this function.
Even when hardware conditions cannot be checked beside this equipment because, for
example, the system administrator is away from this equipment or this equipment is built
into the facility, the hardware conditions can be checked from a remote device.
This function uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to notify hardware
conditions. This allows you to use commercially available network management software
that supports SNMP and to monitor distributed instances of this equipment and other
devices all from one location.
NOTE
• The remote notification uses SNMP, a protocol in the application layer of the
TCP/IP, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in the transport layer. That
means if the network load is high, hardware conditions may not be received
properly.
• The remote notification uses the SNMP service, a standard feature of
Windows®. For information about how to enable the standard Windows®
SNMP service, see "4.5.3 Enabling the remote notification".
