Configuring Event Management - Settings 
SNMP Configuration 
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol governing 
network management and the monitoring of network devices and their 
functions. The KX II-101 offers SNMP Agent support through Event 
Management.  
 
To configure SNMP (enable SNMP logging): 
1.  Choose Device Settings > Event Management - Settings. The Event 
Management - Settings page appears. 
2.  Select SNMP Logging Enabled. This enables the remaining SNMP 
fields. 
3.  In the Name, Contact, and Location fields, type the SNMP agent's 
name (that is, the device's name) as it appears in the KX II-101 
Console interface, a contact name related to this device, and where 
the Dominion device is physically located.  
4.  Type the Agent Community String (the device's string). An SNMP 
community is the group to which devices and management stations 
running SNMP belong. It helps define where information is sent. The 
community name is used to identify the group. The SNMP device or 
agent may belong to more than one SNMP community. 
5.  Specify whether the community is Read-Only or Read/Write using 
the Type drop-down list. 
6.  Configure up to five SNMP managers by specifying their Destination 
IP/Host Name, Port #, and Community.

remote Syslog server.

Address field.
