SNMP Settings
The default SNMP Settings enable you to configure how SMARTsend communicates with Xerox
Multifunction Devices during device discovery and configuration. Consider the following issues when
adjusting the SNMP settings:

•
SNMP v2c will be used for device discovery and configuration by default if SNMP v3 is not enabled.

To use SNMP v3 for discovery and configuration, it must be enabled on the Edit Device
Configuration Defaults page and the device administrator must configure each device to support
SNMP v3.

SNMP v2c Defaults
SNMP Community Names (GET/SET) are used when exchanging information with devices via SNMP
v2c. The SNMP SET name is generally used to write or modify values on a device. The SNMP GET name
is generally used to retrieve values from a device.

is generally used to retrieve values from a device.
SMARTsend uses the SNMP Community Names for authentication during device discovery and
configuration. Devices that are discovered by SMARTsend will use the GET name they were discovered
with, and the default SET name for configuration. Devices that were added by manually entering their
IP Addresses or Host Names will use both the default GET and SET names. If the devices to be used
with SMARTsend have GET and SET names other than the default values of "public" and "private," you
must enter the appropriate default names within SMARTsend, or modify the SNMP Community Names
for each device on a case-by-case basis using the device properties page.

Enable SNMP v3
Enabling SNMP v3 on the Edit Device Configuration Defaults page makes SNMP v3 the default
protocol that SMARTsend will use for discovering and configuring devices. If SNMP v3 is not supported
on a device, SMARTsend will revert to using SNMP v2c.

SNMP v3 Defaults
SNMP v3 requires an account that provides the credentials needed to establish communication
between the Xerox Multifunction Device and the SMARTsend application. The default account
configuration options for SMARTsend can be configured on the Edit Device Configuration Defaults
page.

Account Type
This option enables you to select the default type of SNMP v3 account that SMARTsend will use. These
settings must match the SNMP v3 account settings that are configured on the Xerox devices to be used
with SMARTsend. The account configuration options will change based on the type of account you
choose. The following options are available:
