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. 
 
 
  
Remove any outdated SNMP Community Names that are not in use. This practice will improve 
performance and reduce network traffic.
SNMP Community Name Settings 
GET - used when retrieving information from networked printers. This is normally set to "public"  by 
default.  
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.  
To modify SNMP Community Names: 
1.  Launch the Configuration Utility. 
2. Select 
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.
