Figure 3. Stop the IBM Director WMI CIM Server
Windows/MCS SNMP Service
As a part of the standard IP telephony OS installation, the SNMP service on the Media Convergence Server is
installed, but community strings are not specified. For Operations Manager to manage the device, the device (that is,
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unity, and so on) must have a proper SNMP read community
string defined for the SNMP service.
To define the SNMP read community string, do the following:
Step 1. On the MCS, go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
Step 2. Select the SNMP service.
Step 3. Double-click the service and select the Security tab.
Step 4. Under the Security tab, you can define community strings and assign them read permission. (This is not
the read community string).
On the same tab, you can also specify which servers (IP addresses) can make SNMP queries to the MCS.
In that section, make sure that you add the IP address of Operations Manager as an authorized server to
make SNMP queries to the MCS (Figure 4).
