Use this window to configure SNMP and System Log (syslog) settings.

SmartConnect supports SNMP-based network management. If you are running a SNMP net-
work management station on your network, you can manage the SmartConnect using standard 
SNMP MIBs.

VSE SmartConnect software uses system log files to transmit event messages and alerts across 
management host.
