Defining SNMP Parameters
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a method for managing network 
devices. Devices supporting SNMP run a local software (agent). 
The SNMP agents maintain a list of variables, which are used to manage the device. The 
variables are defined in the Management Information Base (MIB). The MIB presents the 
variables controlled by the agent. The SNMP protocol defines the MIB specification format 
as well as the format used to access the information over the network.
Access rights to the SNMP agents are controlled by access strings. To communicate with 
the device, the Embedded Web Server submits a valid community string for 
authentication. To open the SNMP page:
Click System > SNMP in the Tree View. The SNMP page opens.
