Datacard Group SP Series manual Snmp support

SNMP support

The SP Series Card Printer with Built-in Ethernet supports the following SNMP (simple network management protocol) features:

•The printer has an SNMP agent which supports the printer MIB (management information block) and MIB-II. The agent supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.

•If you connect the printer to the network using a print server, the print server can provide SNMP data about itself (if supported). You cannot obtain SNMP data about the printer through a print server. SNMP data about the printer is only available through the printer Ethernet port; if you require SNMP data about the printer and use a print server to send data, you must also connect the printer Ethernet port to the network to provide the SNMP data.

•The MIB-II is described in RFC (request for comment) 1213 and includes RFC 2233, the Interfaces Group MIB using SMI v2.

•The printer MIB is described in RFC 1759 (which requires inclusion of part of the Host Resources MIB, RFC 1514).

•For more information about SNMP standards, see the RFC pages of the Internet Engineering Task Force Web site at http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html.
