Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Chapter 1
Simple Network Management
Protocol (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 6120i is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports, to the extent of open industry standards
such as RFC 1759, any standard SNMP management
platform, including:
• HP OpenView
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetView
Advanced Management
Private MIB
OkiLAN 6120i 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 6120i status. Printer
status traps such as on-line, off-line, detached printer
and printer error are also provided.
The setting of certain variables causes an immediate
firmware reset. These variables are listed in the private
MIB under cmdReset.
OKI OkiLAN 6120i User’s Guide
II - 3
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
Note: If you attempt a reset while a job is printing, the job
may not print successfully.
Certain variables are critical, that is, they change a
fundamental operating parameter of the OkiLAN
6120i. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN 6120i
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 active. We
recommend checking the genConfigDirty variable after
using a MIB browser to make any configuration
changes to the OkiLAN 6120i. If genConfigDirty is set
to yes, then the cmdReset variable should also be set to
yes. This will cause the OkiLAN 6120i to reset, make
all configuration changes active on the OkiLAN 6120i
and set both the cmdReset and genConfigDirty
variables to no. These critical variables are listed in the
private MIB under genConfigDirty.
Traps
Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP
agent. The OkiLAN 6120i uses a ColdStart trap to
inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An
authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN
6120i receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with
an incorrect community name.
The OkiLAN 6120i 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 6120i
traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
OkiLAN 6120i can send traps on toner low, paper jam,
and printer cover open, depending on the printer’s
capabilities. The traps may be configured for specific
destination addresses and can be configured for a
particular printer port and/or printer trap.
II - 4
OKI OkiLAN 6120i User’s Guide
Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6120i must have bi-directional status enabled.
Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN
6120i Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure
Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through
OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file
tab.
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.
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the
OkiLAN 6120i Configuration utility (telnet) allow you
to specify the community names and a trap destination
IP address.

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 leave active connections open
with the server 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.

Login
• If you forget the administrator password, restoring
the TCP/IP protocol to factory defaults from any

• Web browsers will generally cache previously

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 OpenView. 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. Additionally, multiple
traps can be sent to multiple destinations on the
network.
Enhanced Printer Status
The OkiLAN 6120i communicates with the printer to
monitor the current condition on the printer. This
information can be observed in real time via the utilities
or can be interpreted by the OkiLAN 6120i to generate
traps to your SNMP management utility of choice: HP
OpenView or the OKI OkiNet Alert utility.
For bi-directional capable printer the OkiLAN 6120i
can retrieve the printer information, such as front panel
message, and display it through the OkiNet utilities.

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 NetW are Administrator, a
Windows-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 6120i supports NetWare NDS using
Novell Embedded Systems T echnology, 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 95/98, and Windows
NT/2000. If you have multiple versions of Windows
operating systems to service, you can install OkiNet for
NDS for each.
OkiNet for NDS supports four different versions of
NWAdmin.
• OkiNet for NDS installation for NetW are version 4.1
(one version of NWAdmin) requires a single
installation which will work for all platforms
including Windows 3.x. Windows 95/98, and
Windows NT/2000.
• The OkiNet for NDS installation for NetWare
version 4.11 requires a separate installation for each
of the three platforms: Windows 3.x, Windows 95/
98, and Windows NT/2000 (three separate versions
of NWAdmin).

Setting Up the OkiLAN 6120i Through
NWAdmin32
There are two types of printers available with NDPS. One is Public
Access, which anyone on the tree can get to. The other is Private
Access, which requires rights to the object. For Public Access
printers, the NDPS Printer can be created at the file server console
or through Novell’s NetWare Administrator (NWAdmin32). The
File Server Console approach offers less flexibility in
configuration. Both approaches are described in this and the
following subsection.
Setting Up the OkiLAN 6120i for Public Access Printers
1. Create NDPS Manager.
2. Double click NDPS Manager.
3. Go to Printer Agent List
4. Click New. Enter a name for the Agent.
5. Select NDPS Manager Name.
6. Select Novell Printer Gateway as the Gateway type and
click OK.
7. Select NONE as your Printer Type, select Novell Port
Handler as the Port Handler Type and click OK.
8. Select Remote (LPR on IP) and click Next.
9. From the OkiLAN 6120i Configuration Sheet, get the
print server’s IP address and use it for the Host Address
Box of the Novell Gateway Utility. Then, enter the print
server’s IP address. Also from the Configuration sheet, get
the output port of the print server. Then, enter the output
port as the Printer Name. Click Finish.
10. If the “Loading Printer Agent” screen stays on for more
than 60 seconds, click “Stop Waiting.”
11. Ignore the error message, “The Printer Agent Just Created

Introduction
Overview
This section contains instructions and information on
how to configure your OkiLAN 6120i. You will also be
instructed on how to set up your host computers to print
to the OkiLAN 6120i using the TCP/IP protocol.
OkiLAN 6120i supports TCP/IP methods for printing:
• Remote Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Printing directly through a TCP port (Raw Port
Printing)
Additionally, if the DHCP protocol is enabled as a
default, the print server may be accessed through an
ordinary Internet Web browser, such as Netscape
Navigator, or by using TELNET. See Chapters 5 and 6
in this section.
Software Requirements
The OkiLAN 6120i may be configured for TCP/IP
using the OkiNet for TCP/IP utility, or from a computer
supporting the OkiNet for NetWare utility, Banyan
VINES OkiNet for VINES utility (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models), OR telnet and one of the
following:
• Manual arp table entry and ping
• Static route entry using route add command
• DHCP
• RARP
• BOOTP

Section 4 - Chapter 1 - Introduction
Network Preparation
• You should be familiar with network administration
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 6120i are available.
• Assign an IP address and a hostname (alias) to the
OkiLAN 6120i.
Use the network name service or the “/etc/hosts” file
to add the OkiLAN 6120i to the network.
Before You Start
Before running OkiNet for TCP/IP, you must do the
following:
•Install the OkiLAN 6120i hardware and connect the
cabling (if necessary). Instructions for hardware installation are
found in Section I of this manual.
• Write down the serial number and Ethernet address
of your OkiLAN 6120i. (These numbers are located
on the OkiLAN 6120i unit.)
• Install OkiNet for TCP/IP-see Section I.
Overview of TCP/IP Configuration
• Assign an IP address for the OkiLAN 6120e
• Configure the OkiLAN 6120e network information
• Configure hosts for printing to the OkiLAN 6120e
• Test print (optional)

Section 4 - Chapter 2 - Configuring the OkiLAN 6120i
Chapter 2
Configuring the OkiLAN 6120i
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, Novell
NetWare or Banyan VINES (may apply to other
OkiLAN print server models)
•OkiLAN 6120i Configuration utility via telnet.
Note: The OkiNet utilities are the easiest way to
assign an IP address.
Using factory default settings, the OkiLAN 6120i first
attempts to determine its IP address (flashing rapid
green) using DHCP, RARP, BOOTP or Gleaning. If the
OkiLAN 6120e 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
6120i.
Example: 192.168.42.50 OkiLAN 6120e_name
2. Add the name and IP address to the “/etc/hosts” file
of each host that will access the OkiLAN 6120i. 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.
