l Parameters group
l
Community: Enter the community name for the printer or other SNMP compliant
device you want to monitor. Acommunity acts like a combination of a user and
password granting you access to an SNMPdevice. Depending on the community
name, the device knows what rights to grant, for example, read-only or read-write.
Community names serve as a form of organization and security used with SNMP.
The community name must allow sufficient access to the SNMPdevice to monitor it
with the condition. Most SNMPdevices come with a public community name that
usually gives you read-only and/or read-write access. It is recommended to increase
security on your network by entering community names allowing varying levels of
access depending on the particular device, its users, etc. The community name tells
the device which rights to grant PlanetPress Workflow (required to perform the test).
l
IP address: Enter the IP address of the network printer (or other device) whose
status is to be checked via SNMP.
l
Get info: Click to retrieve information corresponding to the IPaddress you entered.
If the information is successfully retrieved and it corresponds to a printer, the Host
name and Description of the printer (or other device)appears in the corresponding
boxes.
