• To use Device Manager NX for encrypting the data for specifying settings, you need to specify the
network administrator's [Encryption Password] setting and [Encrypted Password] in [SNMP
Account Setting] in Device Manager NX, in addition to specifying [Permit SNMPv3
Communication] on the machine. For details about specifying [Encrypted Password] in Device
Manager NX, see Device Manager NX Help.
• If network administrator's [Encryption Password] setting is not specified, the data for transmission
may not be encrypted or sent. For details about specifying the network administrator's [Encryption
Password] setting, see page 14 "Registering and Changing Administrators".
