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 background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user with a sound or a screen flash when an error has occurred, 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. Additionally, multiple traps can be sent to multiple destinations on the network.

Enhanced Printer Status

The OkiLAN 6120e communicates with the printer to monitor the current condition on the printer. This information can be observed in real time via the utilities or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6120e to generate traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.

For bi-directional capable printer the OkiLAN 6120e can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.
