Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for
remotely monitoring and configuring of the AXIS 5600+. All major
functions for print servers are supported.
General Information
SNMP refers to a set of standards for network management,
including a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of
data objects. The AXIS 5600+ SNMP implementation runs in TCP/IP
and NetWare (IPX) networks.
The management is handled by NMS (Network Management System)
software running on a host on your network. The NMS software
communicates with network devices by the means of messages,
which are references to one or more objects.
A message can be a question or an instruction to a device, or an
alarm triggered by a specific event in a device. Objects are contained
in data bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where
MIB-II is a standard database.
The AXIS 5600+ supports all relevant parts of MIB-II and of the host
resources MIB. The AXIS 5600+ also includes a private enterprise
MIB, the AXIS MIB.
