1. About the software
---------------------

MG-SOFT Trap Ringer Professional Edition is a program for monitoring
SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 Trap notification messages and SNMPv2c
and SNMPv3 Inform notification messages. It lets you manage received
notifications in a variety of ways and includes mechanisms for
informing users about the notified events.

SNMP notifications can be viewed in a console window, logged to a
file, forwarded by e-mail, shown on a web page etc. Received SNMP
Trap and Inform notifications can also be used to invoke other
programs. Received SNMP Trap and Inform notifications can be
filtered so that notifications of a particular event type can be
ignored.

Trap Ringer Professional Edition displays details of each
notification message and decodes and explains notification's
parameters according to the relevant MIB definition files.

Trap Ringer Professional Edition runs on Microsoft's 32-bit
operating systems (Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT and Windows
2000) as a tray icon application.

The enclosed MIB Compiler lets you compile any vendor specific MIB
file. Compiled MIB file can then be loaded and utilized by the MIB
browser. Generally, a MIB file is usually supplied by the vendor of an
SNMP manageable device and contains a description of the object
hierarchy and object attributes on the managed device and serves as a
roadmap for managing that device.
