Specifying a Community Name
A community is a group of SNMP agents managed by an NMS, and a
community name is associated with a specific NMS address. For the
NMS to gain access to the device, the correct community name (up to
15 characters in length) must be supplied when connecting.
Specifying an Internet Address
The Internet Address option allows you to set the IP (internet proto-
col) network address for the NMS so the printer can communicate
with the network. Traps, if enabled, are sent to this address. The
address has the form 000.000.000.000. See appendix C, “SNMP and
TCP/IP Concepts,” for more information on internet addresses.
