SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) helps monitor the state of the machine and collects information on it.

The default setting is <AUTO> for <USE SNMP> and <161> for <PORT NO.>.

The following two items can be set:

• <COMMUNITY NAME>:

Sets the SNMP community name. You can specify up to two community names. The default setting is <public> for COMMUNITY NAME 1.

• <SNMP WRITABLE>:

Enables the computers on the network to access the machine and modify its settings if this item is activated. You can specify this setting for each community separately. The default setting is <ON> for SNMP WRITABLE 1 and <OFF> for SNMP WRITABLE 2.
