Two disks are required for installing MacSNMP: the Network Software Installer (NSI) disk and the AppleTalk Connection disk. You must first run the Installer that's provided on the NSI disk, then run the Installer on the AppleTalk Connection disk.
The Network Software Installer (NSI) disk contains the following files:
Installer
TeachText
Network Software Script
ReadMe
AppleTalk Files folder
The AppleTalk Connection (v1.1) disk contains the following files:
AppleTalk Connection Read Me (this file)
AppleTalk Connection Script
Installer
MacSNMP Client
SNMP Preferences
TeachText
User Instructions
Shared Library Manager Files folder
ASLM Resources
Shared Library Manager
SNMP Files folder
SNMP AppleTalk Agent
SNMP AppleTalk Transport
SNMP Macintosh Agent
SNMP Manager
Making 800K Disk Versions
========================
This section provides instructions for making 800K disk versions of the AppleTalk Connection software (for installing the software on Macintosh computers with only 800K drives).
CAUTION: This solution is for the United States ONLY. International customers should contact their local Apple-authorized reseller to obtain 800K disk versions of the AppleTalk Connection software.
To make 800K disk versions:
1. Format two 800K disks.
2. Give them EXACTLY the same names as the two 1.44 MB disks provided with the product package.
3. For the AppleTalk Connection disk, copy all the files and folders from the 1.44 MB version of the disk to the 800K disk except the MacSNMP Client application program. (If you need to install this program, copy it to another disk for separate installation.)
4. For the Network Software Installer disk, copy all the files and folders from the 1.44 MB version of the disk to the 800K disk except the NSI International Files folder.
MacSNMP Release Notes v1.1
=========================
All the SNMP agents and SNMP transports have been updated to compile and link with the Shared Library Manager version 1.1.2. The new SNMP agents and SNMP transports require the Shared Library Manager version 1.1.2 or higher. The easy install procedure takes care that the right version of the Shared Library Manager gets installed.
*** READ THIS BEFORE RE-INSTALLING MacSNMP ****
The TCP/IP Connection Script no longer replaces the SNMP Preferences file if it exists in the Preferences folder. This preserves the settings: communities, password, trap table, and so on.
To clear unwanted or incorrect settings, drag the SNMP Preferences file out of the Preferences folder before re-installing MacSNMP.
BUG FIXES
---------
• SNMP Manager
FIXED: A problem that forced empty octet strings to be sent in get-response packets as strings of 4 null bytes.
Previous versions of MacSNMP failed to send any response at end of MIB when the incoming get-next request had a varbind list filled with non-NULL types.
The SNMP Preferences file name is no longer hard-coded and can now be localized.
FIXED: When sending a request with a bad community name, non-initialized pointers caused certain Macintosh models running in 24-bit mode to crash.
The value returned for the variable sysDescr of MIB II no longer has an extra byte at the end. It now uses the System's short version string (the long version can be localized and hence might not be pure ASCII). Extra information has been added to give the version of the hardware as requested by MIB II.
• MacSNMP Client
Community names are now case sensitive. For example, the strings “public” and “PUBLIC” will be interpreted as different community names.
FIXED: A crash occurring when importing a community and community view is opened.
FIXED: A crash that occured when closing a community view in which a selected inactive agent has been hidden.
• SNMP AppleTalk Agent
FIXED: A bug that caused the SNMP AppleTalk Agent to crash on certain Macintosh models if the Shared Library Manager was loaded before AppleTalk.
• SNMP AppleTalk Transport
FIXED: A bug that caused the SNMP AppleTalk Transport to crash on certain Macintosh models if the Shared Library Manager was loaded before AppleTalk.
FIXED: A crash occuring under heavy stress condition over LocalTalk.
