Administrators can modify the SNMP community string. The SNMP
community string is a text string that acts as a password to authenticate
GET and GET-NEXT SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c messages exchanged
between the library and an external management application. The
SNMP community string used by the library must match the string used
by the external management application.
The default SNMP community string on the library is: publicCmtyStr.
For security purposes, this string should be modified. When modifying
the community string, adhere to the following guidelines: the
community string is case-sensitive, cannot be empty, and cannot exceed
32 characters.
You can modify the SNMP community string from the Web client only.
Web Client
1 Select Setup > Network Management > SNMP.
2 Enter a new community string in the SNMP Community text box
under New Settings.

The SNMP Management Information Base (MIB) is for library customers,
partners, third-party management software developers, and other
parties interested in integrating the Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 with
commercial management frameworks. The Scalar i40 and Scalar i80
libraries support SNMP by publishing a MIB that can be queried to
obtain the status of the library and many of its individual components.
Administrators can download the SNMP MIB from the library. The MIB
can then be installed on an SNMP external management application.
