3. Click through the next few dialogs to complete the installation of the Net-SNMP agent. The SNMP agent will

not begin working until you reboot the DA-682A computer.

Installing and Using an NMS

For full implementation, Synmap requires (like any SNMP-based system) an NMS to become fully functional; an

NMS with an MIB browser also makes using SNMP a far simpler task. If you already have your own MIB browser,

you can skip this section. However, if your network is lacking an NMS then you may install a free version of

Moxa’s MXview to get Synmap up and running. MXview provides an MIB browser and an interface that will

allow you to monitor and control any Synmap enabled device. This section will walk you through a basic MXview

installation, and show you how to use the MXview MIB browser to start working with the DA-682A’s MIB.

Installing a Convenient NMS: Moxa MXview

1. MXview is included on your DA-682A software DVD. Double click mxView_Trial_V2.3.msi in the Utility folder,

which you can find on the software DVD in \utility\2.mxViewTrial. Select OK to choose the language, and

when the next dialog appears click Next to continue.

2. Accept the licensing agreement and click Next to move to the licensing dialog.

3. On the next dialog you may change the folder and path where MXview will be installed. On the next, you

may select where MXView shortcuts will be stored in the Windows Start Menu.
