Allowing SNMP-based Management

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) has become the
standard protocol for managing large networks from central
management consoles. TE100-PS3 network print servers support
the SNMP Management Information Base known as MIB-II,
which collects basic statistics on the print server's basic TCP/IP
and Ethernet networking operations.
SNMP (version 1) implements a rudimentary form of security by
requiring that each request include a community name. A
community name is an arbitrary string of characters used as a
"password" to control access to the device. If the device receives
a request with a community name it doesn't recognize, it will
trigger an authentication trap.
TE100-PS3 network print servers allow up to three different
community names to be defined, and the access rights for each
community can be separately set to either Read Only or
Read/Write. You will need to coordinate these names with the
community name settings you use in your network management
system.
To set community names for your print server,
1. Choose TCP/IP Protocol... from the Configuration menu
2. Press the SNMP... button to open the SNMP Configuration
window.
