Nec Snmp Agent; Installing The Nec Snmp Agent - NEC PowerMate 2000 Series Service And Reference Manual

NEC SNMP Agent

The NEC Desktop Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent is an
extension to the Microsoft SNMP Agent. The NEC SNMP Agent permits a
network administrator to manage NEC PowerMate clients.
The NEC SNMP Agent performs the following major functions:
!
Assets Management — displays system serial number, product model,
and more.
!
Configuration Management — displays memory size and more.
!
Help Desk Support — provides information such as BIOS versions.
!
Alert Notification — provides alerts when thresholds are exceeded (for
example, when temperatures exceed specified limits in a computer).
SNMP-managed devices on a network send messages (traps) when a preset level
of device activity occurs. Notification of events with SNMP traps is sent to a
network manager upon reaching either a user-specified over-threshold or under-
threshold condition for any supported management information base (MIB)
variable.
The following sections describe how to install and configure the NEC SNMP
Agent on systems running the Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, or
Windows NT operating system.

Install the NEC SNMP Agent on the Windows 98, Windows 2000, or Windows

performed after which all applications must be reinstalled.

using a Setup.exe program launched from a subdirectory on the NEC
