BradCommunications™ SNMP MS is a comprehensive suite of tools used to display and analyze SNMP diagnostic data from Ethernet networks. SNMP devices generate data in the form of tags. These tags can be transmitted by means of a switch such as a BradCommunications™ Direct-Link™ Industrial Ethernet managed switch, to an HMI display where they can be easily displayed through the use of the BradCommunications SNMP MS. Non-Ethernet experts can then quickly and easily view any problems that may be occurring specific to the device including status of individual ports, bandwidth utilization and network error rates.
