Configuration from Embedded Web Server
11 5 - 11
DHCP/BOOTP: This option allows you to select DHCP/ BOOTP option. If there is a DHCP/BOOTP server on
your network. This option allows the print server to obtain IP-related settings automatically
from your DHCP server.
IP Address: This option allows you to input IP address from the print server. The IP address must meet the IP
addressing requirements of the network segment.
Subnet Mask: This option allows you to input subnet mask from the print server. The IP address must meet the
IP addressing requirements of the network segment.
Gateway: This option allows you to input gateway from the print server. This IP address of gateway must meet
the router or gateway to go across of the network segment.
SNMP Setup
TCP/IP networks use a standard management protocol called Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). SNMP is widely used in the industry as a solution for remote network management and monitoring of
networking devices. SNMP actually includes a protocol, a database structure specification, and a set of
database objects. The database objects are contained in a standard database called Management Information
Base (MIB) that is stored on the networking device called SNMP agent. The print server's SNMP
implementation runs in a TCP/IP environment.
A host on the network running Network Management System (NMS) software can access the print server
device by reading and writing the MIB objects stored in the device. The Network Management Systems are
available from many third-party vendors, such as Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.
When accessing (traversing) MIB objects in the print server using NMS software called SNMP manager,
you need to provide a community name in each SNMP request for authentication purpose. The print server
supports up to two community names. The default community name is public (case-sensitive), with Read Only
access right in default.
When an unusual condition or activity occurs, the SNMP agent alerts the SNMP manager through SNMP
traps. Following list summaries SNMP trap messages that the print server will send out.
Activities/SNMP Trap Messages Description
Link Up or Link Down When the network interface on the print server fails, a link down trap message
is generated; if the network interface comes back to life, a link up trap
message is sent.
Cold Start or Warm Start When the print server restarts, the cold start or warm start trap message is
generated.
Authentication Failure When the print server received a SNMP request with a community name that
does not match the community name the print server is configured with
(stored in the print server's
memory), an
authentication failure trap message is
generated.
In the print server's SNMP implementation, the following MIB objects are available for updating.
MIB Object Names Description
system.sysContact Indicates the network administrator's name.
system.sysName Indicates the print server's name for identification.
system.sysLocation Indicates the location of the print server.
snmp.snmpEnableAuthenTraps
Enables or disables the function of sending SNMP Authentication Failure trap
message to the network administrator, if the community name within a SNMP
request is not correct.
