GuruxSNMP offers an easy way to use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) in device communication.

The SNMP is a communication protocol that offers an easy way to communicate with a wide range of different devices.

Notifications of errors, media state changes, and received data, give you ways and means to utilize triggered events. Build-in, resettable counters, for sent and received data packets, make it easy to follow up the traffic. You can set the component to send data synchronously or asynchronously. You can also set various properties of data items and packets to customize the media component to meet your needs.

Before using GXSNMP

You need to set at least properties:

• SNMPPort
• HostName

The SNMP port is set by entering the port number to use in communication, by default the port is 161. Host name is set by entering either the name, or the IP address, of the host. All the obligatory properties are collected to be set in an easy-to-use dialog. That is a simple and secure way to assure all is set, when starting to use the component.

Notifications
When using GXSNMP component, always listen to OnError event, as all errors that occur, after the connection is established, are sent through it. GXSNMP component is activated using Connect method that opens the connection determined by the port number and host name, or IP address. Received data is received through OnReceived event.
Note: Do not modify the received data packet.

Using the GuruxSNMP component with different development tools, such as Access, Delphi, Visual Basic, Java ,Visual C++, c# (csharp), VB.NET (Visual Basic.NET) and Managed C++ is very easy. With the component you get a Visual Basic sample that shows how to use the communication technique. Gurux communication medias have been made on the Windows API interface. Due to this, the components are very efficient and do not require external libraries or DLL files to operate.
