Additional Management Features
OkiNet Alert
The 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, with-
out 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 condi-
tions. OkiNet Alert can be used in IPX and IP environ-
ments. Additionally, multiple traps can be sent to
multiple destinations on the network.
Enhanced Printer Status
The Network Print Server 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 Network Print
Server to generate traps to your SNMP management
utility of choice: HP OpenView™ or the OkiNet Alert
utility.
