4.5 Remote Notification
4.5.1 Overview
If you use this function, from a remote device through the network, you can check hardware
conditions that can only be checked beside this equipment without this function. Even when
hardware conditions cannot be checked beside this equipment because, for example, the
system administrator is away from this equipment or this equipment is built into the facility,
the hardware conditions can be checked from a remote device.
This function uses Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to notify hardware
conditions. This allows you to use commercially available network management software
that supports SNMP and to monitor distributed instances of this equipment and other
devices all from one location.
NOTE
• The remote notification uses SNMP, a protocol in the application layer of the
TCP/IP, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) in the transport layer. That
means if the network load is high, hardware conditions may not be received
properly.
• The remote notification uses the SNMP service, a standard feature of
Windows®. For information about how to enable the standard Windows®
SNMP service, see "4.5.3 Enabling the remote notification".
