reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the
Network Print Server receives an SNMP trap GET or
SET request with an incorrect community name.
The Network Print Server sends printer traps when
there is a change in the status of the printer. If the
Printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached,
the administrator will be notified via the Network Print
Server traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the
Network Print Server can send traps on toner low,
paper jam, and printer cover open, depending on the
printer’s capabilities. The traps may be configured for
specific destination addresses and can be configured
for a particular printer port and/or printer trap.
In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the Network
Print Server must have bi-directional status enabled (it
is disabled by default). Extended Status can be
enabled through the Network Print Server Configura-
tion utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You
can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/
IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab.
Security
SNMP implements a simple security system known as
community names. Each SNMP message has a com-
munity name associated with the command in the
message. SNMP allows for a Set community name,
Get community name and a Trap community name.
When the SNMP Agent receives a command, it
checks the community name of the message with the
community name of the device. If the community
names do not match, the Agent discards the message
and sends an authentication failure trap.
