General information
The SNMP Terminal Server contains OSS - Open Source Software (µCLinux and Net-SNMP). For
the copyright notice, list of conditions, disclaimer information kindly refer to the referenced source.
Open Source Software for µCLinux as well as detailed license information documentation is avail-
able and delivered with the PowerSys CD ROM.
SNMP function
The SNMP server allows the request of system parameters and a limited control (commands) of
the SWT 3000 from a central NMS (network management system) via TCP/IP. The SNMP server
provides an image of the SWT 3000 status. Spontaneous alarm indications (traps) are transmitted
to the NMS. Alternatively the remote access of the service program PowerSys via the SNMP server
is also possible and has higher priority. This means during an existing connection with the service
program the SNMP data base is not updated. This status is reported with a spontaneous indication
(trap) to the NMS.
