Unable to Print

If your OkiLAN 6100e+ passes self-test and you are unable
to print a configuration sheet or are unable to send data to
the printer via the OkiLAN 6100e+, check the following:

• Printer configuration

• Printer hardware/port enabled

• Computer network adapter cards

• Cabling and/or connectors

• Application software configuration

Error Messages

If you receive the following message from within the
software:

ST: Cable not connected

Self-test has determined the network cable is not connected.
Check the cable connection to the OkiLAN 6100e+.

If you find the cable is connected and you are still receiving
this message or any other ÒST:Ó error message, power the
printer/print server off and on. If the error continues,
connect the OkiLAN 6100e+ to a network connection that is
functioning correctly (for example: a connection that a
currently operating PC is on). If the error still continues, call
Okidata Customer Support:

Within about 10 seconds of initialization, the status lights
should indicate that the printer port and network connections
have been established. If the status lights remain off, call
Okidata Customer Support.

After initialization, press the TEST button on the back panel
of the OkiLAN 6100e+. If a configuration page prints, then
the printer and OkiLAN are operational: any problems you
experience are probably caused by the network or network
connection.

Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

Chapter 1
Single 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 6100e+ is a fully functional SNMP agent
and supports any standard SNMP management
platform, including:

• HP OpenView

• Novell NMS

• Sun SunNet Manager

• IBM NetView

Advanced Management

Private MIB

OkiLAN 6100e+ 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 interfaceprinter
settings, and the overall OkiLAN 6100e+ 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 6100e+ 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
6100e+. These variables are saved by the OkiLAN
6100e+ 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 6100e+. If
genConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset
variable should also be set to yes. This will cause the
OkiLAN 6100e+ to reset, make all configuration
changes active on the OkiLAN 6100e+ and set both the
cmdReset and genConfigDirty variables to no. These
critical variables are listed in the private MIB under
genConfigDirty.

T raps

Traps are unsolicited information from the SNMP
agent. The OkiLAN 6100e+ uses a ColdStart trap to
inform the manager it has been powered on or reset. An
authentication failure trap is sent when the OkiLAN
6100e+ receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request
with an incorrect community name.

The OkiLAN 6100e+ 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 6100e+
traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
OkiLAN 6100e+ 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.
