SNMP

The Print Server supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). This allows network supervisors to monitor and control the Print Server using network management platforms such as HP OpenView, IBM SystemView, etc.

The appropriate MIB file must be imported into your SNMP management program using the Import-Compilecommand. Check your management program for details on this procedure. The MIB files are provided in the MIB folder on the CD-ROM, as fol- lows:

Mib1p.mib

Single port models.

Mib3p.mib

Models with 3 parallel ports

FPS-1UA, FPS-2PUW and FPS-2PUWG are not support SNMP protocol. So you can not find the MIB file for them.
