To set up sending SNMP messages

1. Select the Send messages to SNMP server check box.

2. Specify the appropriate options as follows:

o Types of events to send – choose the types of events: All events, Errors and warnings, or

Errors only.

o Server name/IP – type the name or IP address of the host running the SNMP management

application, the messages will be sent to.

o Community – type the name of the SNMP community to which both the host running SNMP

management application and the sending machine belong. The typical community is "public".

To disable sending SNMP messages, clear the Send messages to SNMP server check box.

The messages are sent over UDP.

3.2.4. Domain access credentials

This option determines the user name and password that the management server will use to access

the domain.

The preset is: No credentials

The management server needs domain access credentials when working with a dynamic group that is

based on the Organizational unit criterion (p. 326). When you are creating such group and no

credentials are given by this option, the program will ask you for credentials and save them in this

option.

It is sufficient to specify the credentials of a user who is a member of the Domain Users group on the

domain.

3.2.5. Acronis WOL Proxy

This option works in combination with the Use Wake-On-LAN (p. 187) advanced scheduling setting.

Use this option if the management server has to wake up for backup machines located in another

subnet.

When the scheduled operation is about to start, the management server sends out magic packets to

wake up the appropriate machines. (A magic packet is a packet that contains 16 contiguous copies of

the receiving NIC's MAC address). The Acronis WOL Proxy, installed in the other subnet, transfers the

packets to machines located in that subnet.

The preset is: Disabled.

To bring this option into use:

1. Install Acronis WOL Proxy on any server in the subnet where the machines to be woken are

located. The server has to provide continuous services availability. With multiple subnets, install

Acronis WOL Proxy in every subnet where you need to use the Wake-On-LAN functionality.

2. Enable Acronis WOL Proxy in the Management server options as follows:

a. Select the Use the following proxies check box.
