Upgrading COI licenses to the new iSNMP solution by Kepware |
Leverage a Proven Server Architecture
Kepware purchased all SNMP-related assets of COI Software in
September 2007. Next, we developed a new iSNMP suite that "plugs-in"
to Kepware's field-proven OPC server architecture. The new
drivers in the suite are, the SNMP driver for Managed devices
and the Ping driver for Unmanaged devices. The OPC server which
houses these drivers is Kepware's field proven KEPServerEX
which supports the widest range of connectivity for OPC, DDE,
and Native Interfaces.
iSNMP Upgrade Options
With the initial release of the new
iSNMP solution by Kepware, the future upgrade path for all legacy
iSNMP license will be to the new solution by Kepware.

 |
Evaluate your existing (legacy) iSNMP project to map
out the conversion of the project file into the Kepware
OPC server project format. What is the total device count
for Managed devices? For Unmanaged devices? |
| |
|
 |
Review the new iSNMP solution
by Kepware to choose the iSNMP license type and form factor
that best meets your application needs. |
| |
License Types: All license types support identical features
so the only differences between license types are the
number of devices supported and the price. The iSNMP
server does not limit the number of OPC or DDE client
applications.
Basic – Monitor up to 15 devices ($895) from a single computer.
Expert – Monitor up to 50 devices ($1795) from a single
computer.
Enterprise - Unlimited devices ($2495) from a single computer.

The new stand alone iSNMP
OPC Server by Kepware is based
upon the same technology found in our Industry leading
OPC Server, KEPServerEX. The OPC/DDE server features are
identical between the new iSNMP OPC Server and KEPServerEX.
In applications where only SNMP and Ping connectivity is
needed most users will choose the stand alone version of
the new iSNMP suite.
For customers currently using KEPServerEX with licensed
plug-ins for 3rd party connectivity, the iSNMP driver suite
which plugs-in to KEPServerEX will be the typical version
to choose. KEPServerEX is a single OPC server interface
which delivers "plug-in" drivers for robust industrial
connectivity to Allen Bradley, BACnet, GE, Mitsubishi,
Modicon / Modbus, Omron, Siemens, User-Configurable RS485 & TCP/IP
protocols, Yokogawa and many more. So choose the iSNMP
driver plug-in suite for KEPServerEX when you also need
other types of connectivity supported through a single
OPC server interface. |
