Please check for the latest information about MG-SOFT MIB Browser Professional Edition available from our web site at URL http://www.mg-soft.si/ ======================================================================== 3. About MG-SOFT MIB Compiler ----------------------------- The MG-SOFT MIB Compiler converts MIB files in ASN.1 format into proprietary MG-SOFT SMIDB format. While saving the SMIDB file MIB Compiler also generates a registry key for that database (registry keys are placed under the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MG-SOFT\SMI modules" in the system registry). An application can access compiled MIB files through the industry standard WinMIB interface implemented in the WinMIB.DLL module, by using the WinMIB API functions. MG-WinMIB SDK provides an implementation of the industry standard WinSNMP/MIB specification. WinSNMP/MIB specification defines a set of database functions that offer management applications a method of browsing the MIB database known at the management station. It supports the following categories of API functions: * Mapping Functions. * Navigational Functions. * Data Retrieval Functions. * Utility Functions. By using the WinMIB API, the application can check the registry for available SMIDB modules, load a module, retrieve the required information from the module and unload the module after it isn't required anymore. SMIDB modules are loaded as shared memory files. If more than one application require the same SMIDB module, only one copy of the SMIDB module is loaded into memory. Please check the contents of the WinMIB Usage document which contains the basic guidelines for programming with the WinMIB API. However, please note that you should use the WinSNMP/MIB API documentation (available at http://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsnmp) as the main reference for the WinMIB API programming. If you meet any problems, please contact us at info@mg-soft.si. In order to keep operating the WinSNMP utilities from the MG-WinSNMP SDK that are also included in this software release, we have named the new version of the WinMIB library WinMIB.DLL (the previous version is called WinMIB32.DLL and is also included in this software release along with the old static MIB database file SNMPMIB.DB that is used by the old WinMIB32.DLL). Please note that this software release contains the evaluation version of the WinMIB.DLL library. As such it permits at most three SMIDB files to be utilized simultaneously. If you decide to purchase the licensed version of the software there will be no such limitation. Supplied MIB source files ------------------------- Please note that all supplied MIB source files have been compiled with the MG-SOFT MIB Compiler and the corresponding SMIDB files have been included in the software package. All MIB source files have been kindly provided by David Perkins . From his web site at http://www.snmpinfo.com/ you can download other RFC MIB source files. David Perkins is the world's leading MIB and SNMP expert, the co-author (with Evan McGinnis) of an excellent book Understanding SNMP MIBs (http://www.prenhall.com/allbooks/ptr_0134377087.html), Published in December 1996 by Prentice Hall Professional Technical Reference, ISBN 0-13-437708-7. =========================================================================== 4.

About Net Inspector ---------------------- Net Inspector is a general remote management system running on MS Windows 95 and MS Windows NT platforms. It provides: * built-in framework for graphical presentation of managed devices * built-in event collecting, event logging and alarm dispatching mechanisms * API for developing PFS (proxy front-end server) plug-in modules Net Inspector platform can be used for managing devices running the SNMP agents or devices that support a proprietary management protocol. By developing the appropriate PFS plug-in module that supports given proprietary protocol, you can manage that type of device from the Net Inspector desktop. That means that it is possible to manage different types of devices on different types of networks, simultaneously from the same desktop. Graphical presentation ---------------------- Net Inspector offers an easy way for setting up a graphical presentation of network nodes on the network. This presentation is based on a principle of maps and sub maps. Devices and sub maps are presented as icons on a root map. Device icons are dynamic which means that they respond to a certain message by changing colors and thus indicating the status of nodes and devices on the map. Sub maps can be opened by clicking on the sub map icons. The map can also contain bitmaps, text and other graphical objects. Event collecting, logging and alarming -------------------------------------- Net Inspector's Alarm Manager is a central system for collecting messages from managed devices and notifying the user about the changed status of the managed device. PFS plug-in modules ------------------- Functionality of Net Inspector depends on the number and type of installed PFS (proxy front-end server) plug-in modules that conform to the Net Inspector API. Net Inspector PFS API defines an interface between remote agents (devices that we want to manage) and Net Inspector. Communication between PFSs and agents can run on a media of your choice. You can use LAN, WAN, ISDN, PSTN, serial, wireless,... whatever. In other words, the PFS plug-in module should provide a gateway between the media/protocol of your choice and Net Inspector. Such architecture enables adding new types of managed devices without a need to change the Net Inspector software. Agents just have to be registered properly by calling API functions. Future extensions ----------------- * Extensions for delivering alarm messages via e-mail, pager and telephone. * Option which will enable to run Net Inspector as a service on the Windows NT platforms. * Client/server architecture for accessing Net Inspector. * Virtual objects for managing groups of network devices as a single object, e.g. a virtual object link can be defined by all nodes on the route of that link. * Graphical links between objects on the map. * ObjectBuilder API will provide a mechanism to visualize managed devices. For example, a device in Net Inspector is presented as an icon. By clicking that icon, the whole image of the device appears. By clicking a certain part of the device, Net Inspector will open a new window, where the user can have a closer look at the device detail, like which module doesn't work properly. Currently provided PFS Plug-in modules for Net Inspector -------------------------------------------------------- In the existing version of Net Inspector we provide the following PFS plug-in modules: * Echo module for pinging network devices with the UDP/ECHO protocol * MG-WinSNMP-based SNMP module for managing network devices with the SNMP protocol Download the latest version of Net Inspector -------------------------------------------- You are welcome to download and evaluate the latest version of Net Inspector available at http://www.mg-soft.si/download.html ========================================================================== 7.

About WPDECO32 Protocol Decoder in DLL module ------------------------------------------------- The WPDECO32 Protocol Decoder in DLL Module lets you incorporate the protocol decoding abilities into your 32-bit MS-Windows applications. How to use the WPDECO32 Protocol Decoder ---------------------------------------- The idea is simple. You have a captured network packet. Along with some other parameters you supply the packet length and the pointer to that packet to the WPDECO32 protocol decoder. After the successful call you get a set of strings, each string representing a line of the decode. You can then display these strings in some output window of your application, send them to the printer etc. This means that adding a protocol decoding functionality to your applications is easier than ever before. The WPDECO32.DLL contains only one function which you have to call in order to produce the decoded network packet. Besides including a header file and calling the decodePacket() function with properly initialized parameters, there is no need for any initialization or cleanup of the decoder, everything is done automatically when the WPDECO32.DLL is loaded or unloaded by your application. The WPDECO32 SDK contains two sample applications in order to illustrate the usage: * DECODER GUI application written in Delphi 2.0 * DECODEMO console application written in C/C++ Both are coming with full source code so they can serve as a very good starting point for further software development. Anyhow, please note the information given in the WPDECO32.DLL Programmer's Reference (in the help file supplied with the SDK)! Supported protocols ------------------- Currently WPDECO32.DLL supports the most popular LAN protocols (for the complete list please check the contents of the help file supplied with the SDK). Besides, MG-SOFT can produce a customized version of the protocol decoder according to your needs, including support for other protocols, packet encapsulations,... Please note that the evaluation version of the WPDECO32.DLL protocol decoder distributed in the evaluation version of WPDECO32 SDK supports the following protocol interpreters: * DLC, LLC and SNAP Ethernet encapsulation layers, * IP, ARP and RARP layers on top of the encapsulation layer and * TCP, UDP and ICMP layers on top of IP. * Everything else carried by the encapsulation, UDP and TCP protocol layers is decoded as data. Licensing options ----------------- The WPDECO32 SDK is a try before you buy package. Everybody has a right to download it and use it for the evaluation purposes and everybody has a right to try to develop his/her own software which uses our wpdeco32.DLL library. But when the product is ready (either for using by the one who produced it or by an end user), a required number of licenses has to be purchased.
