Management (SNMP)
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is designed to allow for
remote management and monitoring of a variety of devices from a central
location. It is generally used to monitor conditions that may require attention.
The SNMP management system is composed of:
• One or more managers (administrative computers)
• SNMP-compliant devices (such as your AirLink device, a router, a UPS, a
web server, a file server, or other computer equipment)
• An agent (data collection software running on the SNMP-compliant devices)
• A Network Management System (NMS) that monitors all the agents on a
specific network.
The agent stores information about the device in a Management Information Base
(MIB). The manager can send messages to this database to configure and query
the status of the device. In addition, the agent running on the device can send
traps (unsolicited messages) to the manager on startup, on status change, or
when an error condition occurs.
AirLink devices supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 and you can configure them as
SNMP agents.
Authentication ensures SNMP messages coming from the AirLink device have not
been modified and the device cannot be queried by unauthorized users. SNMPv3
uses a User-Based Security Model (USM) to authenticate and, if desired or
supported, message encryption. USM uses a user name and password specific
to each device.
Password (optional) Sets the password to use when authenticating the email account (*SMTPFROM) with the
server (*SMTPADDR).
• pw = password
Note: The email server used for the relay may require a user name or password.
Message Subject Allows configuration of the default Subject to use if one is not specified in the message by
providing a “Subject: xxx” line as the initial message line.
• subject = message subject
