TP-LINK Single Parallel Port Fast Ethernet Print Server TL-PS110P User Manual

 

TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network 

anagement Protocol (SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote 

etwork management and monitoring of networking devices. SNMP actually includes a 

ase structure specification, and a set of database objects. The database 

ined in a standard database called Management Information Base (MIB) 

at is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP 

impl

A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can 

access the print server device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. 
The Network Management Systems are available from many third-party vendors, such as 
Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.

message is generated.
