OkiNet Alert

OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows administrators to proactively manage printers by being immediately alerted to printing problems before they are encountered by users. This remote management utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps from a list of printers chosen by the administrator, without requiring HP OpenView. It runs in the back- ground on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has oc- curred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond only to the specific error conditions that are of concern to you. You can also launch batch files on given error conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP environments.

Enhanced Printer Status

The OkiLAN 6010e communicates with the printer to monitor the current condition of the printer. This infor- mation can be observed in real time via the utilities or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6010e to generate traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.

For bidirectional capable printers the OkiLAN 6010e can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.
