OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
Section II - Advanced Management Features
Chapter 1: SNMP
Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides network administrators with the ability to communicate management functions between an SNMP
manager and an SNMP agent. An SNMP manager is a
user program the network administrator can use to
manage SNMP agents. The manager can retrieve Get
information from the agent or alter Set information on
the agent. An agent can also send an unsolicited message Trap to a manager when it encounters an unusual
condition.
The OkiLAN 6010e is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports any standard SNMP management platform, including:
Advanced Management
• HP OpenV ie w
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetV ie w
Private MIB
OkiLAN 6010e SNMP support has been enhanced with
a private MIB. It is accessible via SNMP over TCP/IP
and IPX. This private MIB contains over 150 configuration and status variables for the network protocols,
printer ports, network interface printer settings, and the
overall OkiLAN 6010e status. Printer status traps such
as on-line, off-line, detached printer and printer error
are also provided.
OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
II - 5
Section II - Advanced Management Features
The setting of certain variables causes an immediate
firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private
MIB under cmdReset.
Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the
job may not print successfully.
Certain variables are critical, that is, they c hange a
fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN
6010e. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6010e
but are not actually used until it is power cycled or is
reset. When any one of these variables is changed the
variable genConfigDirty is automatically set to yes by
the print server. This signifies a reset is required for all
configuration changes to be made activ e . We recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after using
a MIB browser to make any conf iguration changes to
the OkiLAN 6010e. If genConfigDirty is set to yes, then
the cmdReset variable should also be set to yes. This
will cause the OkiLAN 6010e to reset, make all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6010e and set
both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no.
These critical variables are listed in the private MIB
under g enConf igDirty.
Traps
Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP
agent. The OkiLAN 6010e uses a ColdStart trap to
inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An
authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN
6010e receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with
an incorrect community name.
II - 6
OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide
Section II - Advanced Management Features
The OkiLAN 6010e sends printer traps when there is a
change in the status of the printer. If the printer goes
off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the administrator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6010e traps over
both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the OkiLAN 6010e
can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer
cover open. The traps may be configured for specific
destination addresses and can be configured for a
particular printer port and/or printer trap.
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6010e must have bidirectional status enabled (it is
disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled
through the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility
(telnet) from the Configur e Port option. You can also
enable OkiNet Aler t through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX
from the Output Port file tab .
Advanced Management
Security
SNMP implements a simple security system known as
community names. Each SNMP message has a community name associated with the command in the message.
SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get community name and a Trap community name. When the
SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the community name of the message with the community name
of the device. If the community names do not match,
the Agent discards the message and sends an authentication failure trap.

Section II - Advanced Management Features
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the

Troubleshooting
Server Connection
• The print server only supports two simultaneous HTTP connections. If your browser
fails to connect to the print server, the
browser may be trying to open more than
two connections. Please refer to your
browser’s Help files for information on
changing the connection settings. Both
Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Explorer
for the Macintosh and Power PC will sometimes display a failure to connect message
after being configured for only two connections. Should this occur, select OK to bypass
the error message. The menu page will still
be displayed and configuration can be
completed.
• Quickly refreshing a page within some
browsers can cause the browser to lea ve
active connections open with the serv er
called a hung connection. This will use up
one of the HTTP connections, can cause
problems connecting to the server and will
slow down Web response time. If TCP
timeout checking is enabled under TCP/IP
configuration, the hung connection will
timeout after the timeout period has expired.

OkiNet Alert
OKI OkiNet Alert enterprise management utility allows
administrators to proactively manage printers by being
immediately alerted to printing problems before they
are encountered by users. This remote management
utility can be configured to monitor all SNMP traps
from a list of printers chosen by the administrator,
without requiring HP OpenV iew. It runs in the background on any Windows-based PC and alerts the user
with a sound or a screen flash when an error has occurred, and OkiNet Alert can be configured to respond
only to the specific error conditions that are of concern
to you. You can also launch batch files on given error
conditions. OKI OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP
environments.
Enhanced Printer Status
The OkiLAN 6010e communicates with the printer to
monitor the current condition of the printer. This information can be observed in real time via the utilities or
can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6010e to generate
traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP
OpenV iew or the OKI OkiNet Aler t utility.
For bidirectional capable printers the OkiLAN 6010e
can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel
message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

Decide how frequently to refresh the screen based on
factors such as network traffic and desire for most
recent information. For example, if traffic is not an issue
on your network and the most current information is
desired, set the refresh rate to 1 so the screen is updated
every minute. If network traffic is an issue, you may
wish to set the refresh rate to 10. This would update the
screen every ten minutes and minimize network traffic.

Chapter 3: OkiNet for NDS
Overview
OkiNet for NDS is a Dynamic Link Library (DLL)
which allows users to create and manage OKI print
server objects in the NDS tree. OkiNet for NDS integrates into Novell’s NetWare Administrator, a W indows-based utility that allows users to view and manage
their NetWare 4.x NDS tree. Once OkiNet for NDS is
integrated into NetWare Administrator, users can manage OKI devices with the same utility used to manage
other network objects such as printers and queues.
The OkiLAN 6010e supports NetWare NDS using
Novell Embedded Systems Technology, also known as
NEST. OkiNet for NDS can be installed to support
Novell NetWare version 4.1 or 4.11 and for operating
systems running Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and/or
Windows NT. If you have multiple versions of Windows
operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for
NDS for each.
NetWare
OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of
NWAdmin.
• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare
version 4.1 (one version of NWAdmin)
requires a single installation which will
work for all platforms including W indows
3.x. W indows 95 and/or Windows NT.
OKI OkiLAN 6010e User’s Guide

The OkiLAN 6010e may be configured for TCP/IP
using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer
supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, OR telnet
and one of the following:
• Manual arp table entry and ping
• Static route entry using route add command
• DHCP
• RARP
• BOOTP

Network Preparation
• You should be familiar with network admin-
istration as well as the physical setup and
operation of your network.
• Advise users of possible disruption during
installation.
• Make sure the serial number and Ethernet
address of your OkiLAN 6010e are available.
• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias)
to the OkiLAN 6010e.
• Use the network name service or the “/etc/
hosts” file to add the OkiLAN 6010e to the
network.
Before Y ou Start
Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the
following:
• Install the OkiLAN 6010e hardware and
connect the cabling. Instructions for hardware installation are found in Section I of
this manual.
• Write down the serial number and Ethernet
address of your OkiLAN 6010e. (These
numbers are located on the OkiLAN 6010e
board.)
• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP—see Section I.

Choosing an IP Address
Every TCP/IP network device is required to have a
unique IP address. The IP address can be permanently
stored using one of the following:
• OKI OkiNet management utilities for TCP/
IP or Novell NetWare
• OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility via
telnet.
Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to assign
an IP address.
Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6010e first
attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid
green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the
OkiLAN 6010e has not resolved its IP address after 2
minutes, it defaults to 198.102.102.254. (This IP address should be used only temporarily for configuration
purposes.)
To choose an IP address:
1. Select an IP address and hostname for the
OkiLAN 6010e.
Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6010e_name

2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/
hosts” file of each host that will access the
OkiLAN 6010e. Or, if your network uses a
name service, add the host name and IP
address to the name server .
Most TCP/IP networks use the Network Information
Service (NIS), Domain Name Service (DNS) or the “/
etc/hosts” database. See your network documentation
for instructions.
Configuring the OkiLAN 6010e
There are four utilities available to conf igure the
OkiLAN 6010e for TCP/IP printing. You may use
whichever utility is best suited for your needs.
• OkiNet for TCP/IP – Windows TCP/IP
print manager utility. See Chapter 3 of this
section for more information.
• OkiLAN 6010e Configuration Utility –
This utility is accessed via telnet. See Chapter 5 of this section for more information.
IV - 10
In order to configure the OkiLAN 6010e via
telnet, you must first assign an IP address to
the OkiLAN 6010e and verify communication by pinging the device.
• OkiNet for NetWare – This windows utility
must be run from a Novell NetWare client.
See Section III of this manual for specific
information.
