SNMP Setup

The following options can be accessed only in local Setup.

Enable SNMP—Select to enable the SNMP communication over a TCP/IP or IPX

connection. Leaving this option unselected disables any access to remote Setup

through Command WorkStation.

Read Community—Change the SNMP Community Name (“public” by default) for

read access. Once it is changed, the new community name must be entered to read any

information through remote Setup. Up to 32 ASCII characters including spaces can be

used for the community name.

Write Community—Change the SNMP Community Name (“public” by default) for

write access. Once it is changed, the new community name must be entered to read

any information through remote Setup. Up to 32 ASCII characters including spaces

can be used for the community name.

NOTE: For the two options above, a space at the beginning or end of the name is

automatically deleted from the name entered. When an invalid character is entered or

no name is speciﬁed, the default “public” is used for the community name. A name

consisting only of spaces is invalid.
