Defining SNMP Parameters
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent).
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The
MIB presents the variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP protocol defines the MIB specification format as well as the format used to access the
information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with the device, the Embedded Web Server submits a valid community
string for authentication. To open the SNMP page:
Click System > SNMP in the Tree View. The SNMP page opens.

Defining Communities
The system administrator manages access rights (read and write, read only, and so on.) by defining communities in the Community Table. When the
community names are changed, access rights are also changed. To open the SNMP Community page:
Click System > SNMP > Communities in the Tree View. The SNMP Community page opens.
