Description
The 140 NOP 850 00 module includes an SNMP v1 agent. An SNMP agent is a software component running on the 140 NOP 850 00 module that allows access to the module diagnostic and management information via the SNMP service.
SNMP browsers, network management software, and other tools typically use SNMP to access this data. In addition, the SNMP agent can be configured with the IP address of up to 2 devices — typically PCs running network management software — to be the target of event driven trap messages. These trap messages inform the management device of events such as cold start and unauthorized access.
