6. Open the [Security] property sheet and make settings as follows:
x Add the community name entered in 4 to [Accepted community names].
x Set its authority to [READ CREATE] or [READ WRITE].
x Select [Accept SNMP packets from any host].
IMPORTANT:
 If you entered any community name other than “public” in 4, add that name to
“Accepted community names.”
 Unless you set the acceptable community’s authority to “READ CREATE” or
“READ WRITE,” you cannot perform monitoring from NEC ESMPRO Manager.
< Setup of receiving SNMP packets from specific hosts only >
Select [Accept SNMP packets from these hosts], specify IP addresses of the hosts, IP
addresses of the servers to install Agent, and the loop-back address (127.0.0.1).
< Setup of receiving SNMP packets from specific communities only >
Change the name of the community receiving SNMP packets from the default “public”
to any name.
IMPORTANT:
 If the community name is changed, the community of NEC ESMPRO Agent is
changed and registered by starting from [Control Panel]. To change the community
to another and register it, use the [SNMP Community] list box in the [General] tab.
 To allow NEC ESMPRO Agent to receive SNMP packets sent from NEC
ESMPRO Manager, set the send community name in NEC ESMPRO Manager to
be the same as that accepted by the SNMP Service in NEC ESMPRO Agent.
7. Terminate the network setup.
IMPORTANT:
 If the SNMP service was added to the system after the service pack had been
applied at OS installation, apply it again. If not, the SNMP service may not operate
properly. This can cause the improper operation of NEC ESMPRO Agent.
 The SNMP Service is required for operating NEC ESMPRO Agent. If the SNMP
Service is deleted after the installation of NEC ESMPRO Agent, install the SNMP
Service and then reinstall NEC ESMPRO Agent.
 Some software products provided by other vendors use the SNMP Service. If the
SNMP Service and NEC ESMPRO Agent are installed in the system in which such
software as above is installed, it may be impossible to start NEC ESMPRO Agent
services. If so, delete the SNMP Service once and install the service again. Then,
reinstall NEC ESMPRO Agent and the other vendor's software.
