Licensing

To use the SNMPv3 Driver, you must have a target controller host that is licensed with the “Snmp” feature. In addition, other Snmp device limits or proxy point limits may exist in your license.

Workbench install tool option (“dist” files installed)

From your Supervisor platform, use the Workbench 4.2.nn (or later) that was installed with the “installation tool” option selected, as shown in the following figure. This option installs the needed distribution files (.dist files) for commissioning various models of remote controller platforms. If installed, the dist files are located under your installation directory under a “sw” subdirectory. For details, see “About your software database” in the Niagara Platform Guide.

nSnmp module

Apart from installing the 4.2.nnn (or newer) version distribution in the controller, make sure to also install the nSnmp module plus any specific (“private”) MIB files and required MIB dependency files. Refer to Snmp V1/V2 Driver Guide.

Upgrade any modules shown as “out of date”. For instructions about updating your modules, see “Software Manager” in the Niagara Platform Guide.

The remote controller is now ready for Snmp Network configuration in its running station.
