OKI OkiLAN 6120i User’s Guide

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.
