Section 9: Management and Configuration

Using SNMP

You can use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) for remote monitoring and configuration of the AXIS 1440. All major functions applicable to 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 1440 SNMP implementation runs in the TCP/IP environment.

Management is handled by NMS (Network Management System) software running on a host on your network. The NMS software communicates with network devices by 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 data bases called MIBs (Management Information Base), where MIB-II is a standard database.

The AXIS 1440 supports all relevant parts of MIB-II. It also includes a private enterprise MIB. See The AXIS MIB on page 71.
