Moxa DA-681-I-DP-LX [18/47] Simple network management protocol snmp

DA-681 Series WinCE User’s Manual Software Configuration

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

SNMP is the standard Internet protocol for network management, and is part of the TCP/IP

protocol suite. SNMP was developed to monitor and manage networks. It uses a distributed

architecture that consists of agents and managers:

SNMP Agent

The SNMP agent is an SNMP application that monitors network traffic and responds to queries

from SNMP manager applications. The agent also notifies the manager by sending a trap when

significant events occur.

SNMP Manager

An SNMP manager is an SNMP application that generates queries to SNMP agent applications

and receives traps from SNMP agent applications.

The DA-681-CE computer installs an SNMP agent to serve as an SNMP device. You should

install the SNMP manager on the workstation computer (for example, a Linux system) that

monitors the network. After installing the nodes, you need to configure the SNMP manager and

agent.

To check SNMP agent capabilities for a target DA-681-CE computer (e.g, network IP at

192.168.3.127), log in to the workstation computer on which the SNMP manager resides. For

example, for a Linux-based computer type:

\> snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 192.168.3.127 system

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 Microsoft Windows CE Version 6.0 (Build 1400)

SNMPv2-MIB::sysObjectID.0 SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.8691.13.7420

SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 1282929

SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 Your System Contact Here

SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 WindowsCE

You will see a series of messages from the SNMP agent on the DA-681-CE computer. You will

now be able to monitor and manage the computer.

Remote Display Control

The Remote Display Control application displays a screenshot of the target device and controls the

target device remotely. To establish a connection between the desktop computer and target device,

follow the steps below:
