APPENDIX
Starting the SNMP Function Setting
• Community Name
Community name acts as a password to screen accesses to the
SNMP agent of a particular network device. Type in the community
names of the SNMP agent. Before access is granted to a request
station, this station must incorporate a valid community name into
its request; otherwise, the SNMP agent will deny access to the
system.
Most network devices use “public” as default of their community
names. This value is case-sensitive.
SNMP Extension Agent Installation for Windows
You must have administrative level permission to install SAS RAID
extension agent software. This procedure assumes that the SAS
RAID hardware and Windows are both installed and operational in
your system.
To enable the SNMP agent for Windows, configure Windows for
TCP/IP and SNMP services. The Areca SNMP extension agent file
is ARCSNMP.DLL.
Screen captures in this section are taken from a Windows XP instal-
lation. If you are running another version of Windows, your screens
may look different, but the Areca SNMP extension agent installation
is essentially the same.
1. Insert the RAID controller software CD in the CD-ROM drive.
