5.3.4 PCNC Extensions

The PCNC Extensions are additional files, supplied on Disk 3, that
provide the SNMP Link's functionality. See Chapter 6 for details of how
to install these files.
PCNCSNMP.EXE transfers traps between PCNC and Chameleon, and
logs them to the screen or to a text file if required.
The MIB file is the Management Information Base, and contains all the
information needed by an NMS to understand the traps it receives from
PCNC. This file should be installed into the NMS you are using.

5.3.4.1 PCNCSNMP.EXE

PCNC automatically loads PCNCSNMP.EXE if the SNMP link enabled.
From this program you can choose to log incoming or outgoing traps to
the screen or to a text file. PCNC will also load the Newt program which
is part of the Chameleon package.
Double-click on the PCNC/SNMP icon to bring up the program's main
window. Under the Logging menu, select Options... To log traps to a
file, click on the Browse... button, which invokes the standard file open
dialogue box. Select the required file and click OK . The filename is
then displayed in the main window and you can click on the Log to File
box. PCNCSNMP adds the new traps to the file - it does not overwrite it.
To display the traps on screen, click on the Log to Display box and
choose the required number of lines to be stored. When this number is
reached, the oldest traps will be discarded to make room for the new
ones. The more lines you have, the more resources the program will use
and the slower it will run. Any number between 1 and 16000 is valid.
To log outgoing/incoming traps, the Include traps in log box in the Traps
transmitted/received by PCNC pane should be checked.
If the Expanded entries box is checked, PCNCSNMP will display each
trap in a verbose, easy to read format requiring approximately ten lines.
If the box is unchecked, the traps are displayed in a shortened format
that requires only one line.
