Description
SNMP Version
Specifies the version of SNMP you want to use.
Specifies the transport protocol for SNMP communications. SNMP can be
implemented over two transport protocol:
v2c—Used for standard models. Uses community-based authentication.
v3—Used when you want a high security model. Requires a security user for
notifications.
Because UDP doesn't have error recovery services, it requires fewer network
resources. It is well suited for repetitive, low-priority functions like alarm
monitoring.

Transport
Specifies the transport protocol for SNMP communications. SNMP can be
implemented over two transport protocols:
TCP—This protocol has error-recovery services, message delivery is
assured, and messages are delivered in the order they were sent. Some
SNMP managers only support SNMP over TCP.
UDP—This protocol does not provide error-recovery services, message
delivery is not assured, and messages are not necessarily delivered in the
order they were sent.

Specifies the port that the RealPresence DMA system uses for general SNMP
messages. By default, the RealPresence DMA system uses port 161.
