The community name tells the device which rights to grant PlanetPress Watch/Server

that usually grants read-only and/or read-write access. Consult either SNMP
documentation or the device’s own documentation for further information.
IP address: Enter the IP address of the device.
Get info: Click to test the IP address.
Host name: When you click Get info, if PlanetPress Watch/Server is able to communicate
with the device, it displays its name here.
Description: When you click Get info, if PlanetPress Watch/Server is able to communicate
with the device, it displays its description here.
Condition type: Select Printer Queue to test a standard printer status condition or User

whole condition False.
Printer Queue group
The following options are displayed when Printer Queue is selected in the Condition Type box.

a specific critical alert in the Detected error box. Select Do not test if you only want to test
the printer status (above).
