2 Introducing NEC ESMPRO

CONFIGURATION

NEC ESMPRO consists of a NEC ESMPRO Manager program that runs on a management
computer and a NEC ESMPRO Agent program that runs on servers to be managed.
The NEC ESMPRO Manager collects hardware, software, and firmware information from
the NEC ESMPRO Agents connected to the network. The NEC ESMPRO Manager
displays NEC ESMPRO Agent information, failures, and error logs on the screen.
The NEC ESMPRO Agent monitors server hardware, software, and firmware and
transmits the information over the network to the NEC ESMPRO Manager using SNMP.
The NEC ESMPRO Agent lets you view system settings and reset some NEC ESMPRO
thresholds locally.
Each managed server must have the NEC ESMPRO Agent installed and running. Using SNMP, the
NEC ESMPRO Agent sends data across the network to the NEC ESMPRO Manager, which collects
the server information.
In addition, when you install both IIS and the Web Component on the NEC ESMPRO Manager
computer, you can manage servers through the web browser.
The following figure shows a sample Manager/Agent Configuration.
