Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job may not print successfully.

Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN 6120e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN

6120e but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is reset. When any one of these variables is changed the variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by the print server. This signifies a reset is required for all configuration changes to be made active. We recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after using a MIB browser to make any configuration changes to the OkiLAN 6120e. If genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6120e to reset, make all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6120e and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the private MIB under genConfigDirty.

Traps

Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP agent. The OkiLAN 6120e uses a ColdStart trap to inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN 6120e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with an incorrect community name.

The OkiLAN 6120e sends printer traps when there is a change in the status of the printer. If the Printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6120e traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the OkiLAN 6120e can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open, depending on the printer’s capabilities. The traps may be configured for specific destination addresses and can be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer trap.
