SNMP-1000-B2 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The SNMP-1000-B2 is a platform-independent server and PC system management
controller that can detect the system operating conditions and notify users to take
necessary action to avert system failure. The SNMP-1000-B2 is web enabled and
supports multiple communication protocols. This server provides a simple tool for
managing several remote servers and delivers reliability for critical applications such
as computer telephony.
Powerful and Easy to Use
SNMP-1000-B2 can identify and measure numerous internal conditions, including
system temperature, voltage, fan rotation, power supply, and CPU operations such
as watchdog timer output. With the I2C interface, SNMP-1000-B2 can be used to
monitor CPU temperature and voltages of Advantech's full-sized CPU cards.
Depending on the event severity and user setup, the server generates different
alarm outputs for SNMP traps, e-mails, pager messages, acoustic signals, system
reset functions, and digital signal outputs. With the easy-to-use web-based interface,
users can set the alarm criteria and outputs for all event triggers. The backup battery
ensures that the SNMP-1000-B2 alarm function continues to operate even during
total system power failures.
Web Enabled, No Driver Needed
Equipped with an onboard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapter, the SNMP-1000-B2 can
be connected to existing networks. SNMP-1000-B2 also supports multiple network
protocols, such as TCPIIP, SNMP, HTTP and Telnet, facilitating system management
via a web browser. Because the device operates independently, no software drivers
are required, which eliminates compatibility issues regarding different operating sys-
tems.
Online Upgrades and Batch Setup
The device firmware can be upgraded online using the setup utility. This eliminates
the need to disassemble the chassis and collect each SNMP-1000-B2 module to
conduct a firmware upgrade. The setup utility also supports the "batch setup" func-
tion, which allows users to save and duplicate a configuration to other modules. This
freduces the time required to setup several SNMP-1000-B2 modules.
Flexible Modular Hardware Design
With its modular design, the SNMP-1000-B2 can be easily customized to suit any
application. The ultra compact kernel module is only 40.5 mm wide and 93 mm long,
and can be mounted on standard or customized carrier boards to meet different I/O
extension requirements. The compact size ensures that the SNMP-1000-B2 module
can be integrated into a wide range of customers’ systems.
