Sending real data [was Re: [SNMP4J] Newbie Agent help please]

[Frank Fock]

Hi David,

(1) configure the SNMP4J-Agent as target in MIB-Explorer.
(2) put the agent in simulation mode (use the
agentppSimMode object from AGENTPP-SIMULATION-MIB).
(3) open the snapshot and choose "Restore"
(4) Uncheck the option "Try to restore only..."

That's all.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Frank
