[SNMP4J] novice help

[Frank Fock]

You can load the AGENTPP-SIMULATION-MIB (see
http://www.agentpp.com/agentpp3_5/mibs/mibs.html) into
MIB Explorer to easily set the value from the MIB tree.
On the other hand, you can also use the OID directly
and create a PDU to set the value.
Using the SNMP4J console tool is also an option.

Best regards,
Frank
