Print Server Management and Configuration
AXIS 1650 User’s Manual 53
Print Server Management Using SNMP
You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor
and configure the AXIS 1650 remotely. 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 1650 SNMP implementation runs in TCP/IP 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 MIBs
(Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a standard database.
The AXIS 1650 supports the following MIBs:
• relevant parts of MIB-II
• relevant parts of the Host Resource MIB
• relevant parts of the Printer MIB
• relevant parts of the CANON-MIB
