Basic Configuration
5.9.6. SNMP Access Parameters
These menus are used to select access parameters for the SNMP feature. The SNMP
Access Parameters menus allow the following parameters to be defined:
Note:AfteryouhaveconfiguredSNMPAccessParameters,youwillthenbe
abletomanagetheAFS-16'sUserDirectoryanddisplayunitstatusviaSNMP,as

• Enable: Enables/disables SNMP Polling. (Default = Off.)
Note:ThisitemonlyappliestoexternalSNMPpollingoftheAFS-16;itdoes
noteffecttheabilityoftheAFS-16tosendSNMPtraps.
• Version: This parameter determines which SNMP Version the AFS-16 will respond
to. For example, if this item is set to V3, then clients who attempt to contact the
AFS-16 using SNMPv2 will not be allowed to connect. (Default = V1/V2 Only.)
• ReadOnly: Enables/Disables the "Read Only Mode", which controls the ability to
access configuration functions and invoke switching commands. When Enabled,
you will not be able to change configuration parameters or invoke other commands
when you contact the AFS-16 via SNMP. (Default = No.)
Note:InordertodefineusernamesfortheAFS-16viayourSNMPclient,the

• Authentication/Privacy: Configures the Authentication and Privacy features
for SNMPv3 communication. The Authentication / Privacy parameter offers two
options, which function as follows:
1. Auth/noPriv: An SNMPv3 username and password will be required at log in,
but encryption will not be used. (Default Setting.)
2. Auth/Priv: An SNMPv3 username and password will be required at log in, and
all messages will be sent using encryption.
