PowerSNMP for ActiveX is a family of controls and objects used to
manage network devices and access remote MIBs. Full support for
SNMPv1, SNMPv2 and ASN.1 standards provide interoperability with
many network devices. The Manager and Agent controls provide message
transport over the network and a suite of supporting objects provide
MIB information and encoding/decoding support.
Features
- Enterprise ready! The high-performance
Manager control encodes SNMP V1 or V2c
packets, sends them to any agent, decodes the
response, and presents it to your application
as a simple COM object.
- The Management Information Base (MIB) object
cross-references Abstract Syntax Notation One
(ASN.1) MIB definitions used by managers and
agents.
- Easily create custom SNMP agents that
report special MIB information to remote
network managers.
- A unique MIB Compression application
combines multiple MIBs into a single
compressed file that is easy to distribute for
run-time use.
- The Service control is included so you can
install your Agent or Manager application as a
system service.
- Supporting objects (DartStream,
SnmpMessage, SnmpTable, SnmpTableRow, SnmpTrap,
SnmpTraps, SnmpVariable, SnmpVariables)
provide object models that simplify SNMP usage
for expert and novice alike.
- No knowledge of SNMP message formats is
required. Documentation provides basic theory
of operation.
- Highly stable; released initially in 2000,
PowerSNMP for ActiveX has been optimized for
ease-of-use and consistently updated for
stability based on the feedback of thousands
of users.
- Use in many development environments
including VB, VC++, Delphi, Powerbuilder, C++
Builder, ASP, .NET and more.
- Supports synchronous blocking and
asynchronous non-blocking use.
- Supports COM+ Component Services.
- Requires no system services beyond basic
network transport (independent of Windows SNMP
Service).
- Can be used in a multi-threaded
environment.
- Royalty-free distribution.
- Wrapper classes included for convenient
integration into Visual C++.

demonstrating how this interoperability works and full
interoperability instructions are provided in the product
documentation.
Visual Basic
Looking to integrate
SNMP into Visual Basic? PowerSNMP for ActiveX contains 7 full
sample projects for Visual Basic, including full-blown Visual Basic
SNMP Manager and Agent applications.
Visual C++
PowerSNMP for ActiveX includes C++ wrapper classes to make SNMP
integration into C++ even easier. In addition, 5 full sample
projects are included, including C++ SNMP Manager and Agent
applications.
Delphi
Just add the PowerTCP components to Component Library and you have
taken the first step in using PowerTCP in Delphi! Delphi SNMP
Manager and Agent sample applications are included.
ASP
Use PowerSNMP for ActiveX to create a web-based SNMP Manager in ASP.
In fact, check out our ASP Samples to see a live SNMP demonstration.
Office 97/2000
PowerSNMP for ActiveX can easily be used in VBA (Visual Basic for
Applications). Just drop the components on a form or reference them
for dynamic instantion to add powerful SNMP capabilities to any
Office application or Office Macro.
Uses
PowerSNMP for
ActiveX can be used in a variety of development environments
for any project involving communication between
network devices. Some uses include:
