The Common tab within the Xerox CentreWare for
Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) C
utility allows you to modify the SNMP Commu
Names which are used for various discovery an
communication tasks. When configuring
CentreWare for Microsoft Operations Manager
(MOM), it is important to correctly
configure all SNMP Community Names used for
printer management. All GET values must be set
correctly in order to ensure device
discovery, efficient status retrieval, and historical
data collection. All SET values must be correctly
configured in order to ensure the ability to edit
printer parameters.

SET - used when setting parameters on networked printers. This is normally set to "private" by default.
Trap - used to monitor printer states. The default value is “XeroxXDM.” Most configurations will function
properly with the default value. Do not change this default setting unless your trap configuration does not
work due to site-specific network or other security-related standards.

SNMP Traps
SNMP Traps generate messages that indicate a change in a printer's operating state, such as an open
door, a reboot, or a paper jam. Applications that do not support traps must make frequent status checks
of each managed device to maintain updated status information. In large installations, the time and
bandwidth required can negatively impact network performance. With trap support enabled, network
traffic due to periodic status retrieval may be reduced.

the
Common section.
3. Enter the new value(s) in the appropriate Community Name (GET, SET, Trap) text box.
4. Click the corresponding Set button.
5. Click
the
Close button.
If traps have already been registered for devices in the Operator Console and the trap community string is
subsequently modified, traps must be re-registered for each device.
