SNMP
C-3
SNMP and TCP/IP Concepts
occur on the agent's device and about which the NMS should know
(for example, a media jam).
Since these messages are generated by the agent, it is mandatory
that the addresses of these NMSs be defined so the agent will know
where to send the information. Up to five NMSs can be configured
through the SNMP Config submenu. When a printer error occurs, the
agent sends the information to each of the defined management sta-
tions.
Communities and Community Names
A community is a group of agents managed by an NMS. A community
name is a password that enables SNMP access to the agent.
A community name is associated with an NMS address. For the NMS
to gain access to the agent, the correct community name must be
supplied when connecting. Each community name can be assigned
different privileges. Community names are identified through the
printer's SNMP Config submenu.
QMS-Specific Management Information Base
(MIB)
The Management Information Base (MIB) is the information on an
agent that can be accessed via SNMP. It can also be imported into
other printer management systems.
The following groups are defined in the QMS MIB. Consult the QMS
MIB for object declarations within these groups.
Group Notes
qmsInc This is the top level group
qmsUIH This is the second level. All of the following
groups are the third level under this one.
qmsSystem Contains information on the printer system
such as, printer model, printer name.
