    3.2. SNMP Configurations The Pro Series has the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agent supporting SNMP v1 and v2 protocols. Network managers like NMS or SNMP Browser can exchange information with Pro Series, as well as access required functionality. SNMP protocols include GET, SET, GET–Next, and TRAPs. With these functions, a manager can be notified of significant events (TRAPs), query a device for more information (GET), and make changes to the device state (SET).

    SMTP servers often check only the sender’ s host domain name of the email address for validity. Consequently, the email address set for the device can use an arbitrary username with a registered hostname (i.e. arbitrary_user@yahoo.com or anybody@sena.com). The SMTP user name and SMTP user password are required when either SMTP with authentication or POP-before-SMTP mode is selected.

    Appendix 3. Well-known port numbers Port numbers are divided into three ranges: Well Known Ports, Registered Ports, and Dynamic and/or Private Ports. Well Known Ports are those from 0 through 1023. Registered Ports are those from 1024 through 49151. Dynamic and/or Private Ports are those from 49152 through 65535. Well Known Ports are assigned by IANA, and on most systems, can only be used by system processes or by programs executed by privileged users.
