Section 3 - Advanced Features SNMP SNMP is an acronym for Simple Network Management Protocol. This network protocol is used to manage TCP/IP networks by using "Traps" sent from devices compliant with SNMP and collected by one or more servers. Devices that comply with SNMP correspond with management applications by sending alerts and updates, as well as allowing configuration changes. The DGE-530T's SNMP agent will take event notices from the adapter, translate and then forward them to specified SNMP management stations. Before installing the SNMP agent, you must install SNMP on your computer. Consult the operating system documentation of your computer for additional information. To install SNMP on the DGE-530T, simply click Install SNMP Agent on the Introduction Page and complete the steps of the Installation Wizard. This utility should only be used by experienced network administrators. Additional software or services may need to be previously installed or configured prior to installation of the SNMP protocol. D-Link Network Control Installed automatically with the driver is the D-Link Network Control program, which may be opened from an icon appearing in the lower right hand taskbar of your browser, and on the Control Panel of your computer. Double-click the icon to open the program. The configuration and settings information for this program may be found by clicking the Help button of the current screen. This should provide you with any information you should need. Note: D-Link Network Control is not supported for Windows® XP 64 Bit Edition and Windows Vista™ x86 and x64 Bit Edition.
