PJ NETWORK MANAGER
OWNER'S MANUAL
Introducing
This PJ Network Manager is a SNMP manager software for the network equipment which
supports the private MIB (Management Information Base).
By installing the PJ Network Manager to the computer, you can monitor the equipment
simply such as the projector, the projection monitor and the flat display monitor connect-
ed to the network.
* The PJ Network Manager can handle our products which has a SNMP agent function.
SNMP
SNMP is an abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol.
On the TCP/IP network, it is the protocol to monitor and control the equipment connected
to the network.
SNMP realizes the management function by reading and changing the management infor-
mation called MIB with SNMP protocol between the manager (management equipment)
and agent (controlled equipment) which are connected with TCP/IP network.
