Important Note 11
Important Note
In order to reduce electromagnetic interference—
”noise” that interferes with TVs or other appliances—
you must put the enclosed ferrite core on the network
cable connected to your printer.
This is required by the FCC.
Here’s how to do it:
1. Disconnect the network cable from the printer, if
necessary.
2. Wrap the cable around the open core near the
printer end.
3. Press the two halves of the core together until they
click shut.

Advanced Management Features 13
Advanced Management
Features
SNMP
SNMP Overview
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) pro-
vides network administrators with the ability to com-
municate 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 mes-
sage Trap to a manager when it encounters an
unusual condition.
The Network Print Server is a fully functional SNMP
agent and supports any standard SNMP management
platform, including:
• HP OpenView
• Novell NMS
• Sun SunNet Manager
• IBM NetView
Private MIB
Note: This section is typically used by advanced
administrators only.
Network Print Server SNMP support has been
enhanced with a private MIB. It is accessible via
SNMP over TCP/IP and IPX. This private MIB contains

OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide
Advanced Management Features 14
over 150 configuration and status variables for the net-
work protocols, printer ports, network interfaceprinter
settings, and the overall Network Print Server 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 pri-
vate MIB under cmdReset.
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 Network Print
Server. These variables are saved by the Network
Print Server 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 config-
uration changes to the Network Print Server. If gen-
ConfigDirty is set to yes, then the cmdReset variable
should also be set to yes. This will cause the Network
Print Server to reset, make all configuration changes
active on the Network Print Server 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 Network Print Server uses a ColdStart trap
to inform the manager it has been powered on or

OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide
Advanced Management Features 15
reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the
Network Print Server receives an SNMP trap GET or
SET request with an incorrect community name.
The Network Print Server 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 Network Print
Server traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
Network Print Server 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.
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the Network
Print Server must have bi-directional status enabled (it
is disabled by default). Extended Status can be
enabled through the Network Print Server Configura-
tion 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 com-
munity 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.

OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide
Advanced Management Features 16
Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the Net-
work Print Server Configuration utility (telnet) allow
you to specify the community names and a trap desti-
nation IP address.
Network Print Server Web
Configuration
Web Configuration Overview
This section contains instructions and information on
how to configure and manage your Network Print
Server using a standard Web browser.
If the print server has not been discovered, use the
OkiNet Web Configuration Utility, which automatically
launches the Web browser.
TIP: We recommend printing the Configuration
Sheet for convenient reference of the default IP
address and subnet before using the Web
browser. To print the sheet, press and hold the
Test button below the Ethernet connector on the
Network Print Server.
TIP: To avoid changing the subnet of the adminis-
trator's workstation in non-DHCP situations, use
the OkiNet Web Configuration Utility.
Software Requirements
• TCP/IP Protocol
• Netscape Navigator 2.0 or greater and Microsoft
Explorer 3.0 or greater (Other browsers may work).
Note: If you experience difficulties connecting to
the server, refer to Troubleshooting.

OkiLAN 6200e Plus User’s Guide
Advanced Management Features 17
Connecting to the Network Print Server
1. Enter http://<HTTP Address> in the browser
address prompt. The HTTP address can be the IP
address, the System Name if the print server has
been configured to use WINS, or the DNS name if
registered with a DNS server.
Note: It is not currently possible to discover all
OkiLAN products from a Web browser. If you need
to create a list of all available OkiLAN products
and their addresses, refer to the Network Print
Server Discovery section for instruction.
Note: As a layer of security, the TCP port number
that the device uses to communicate with brows-
ers, called the HTTP port, can be modified from a
default of 80. If the port is modified, the HTTP
address put in the browser must include the port
number, for example, http://vpn.company.com:99/
would be entered for port 99. Refer to the Web
Admin Configuration section for details. Some
TCP or UDP ports may be reserved for specific
purposes, so be careful when selecting a different
port number.
A successful connection will display the print server
home page.
