Enabling SNMP

traps

SNMP traps are alerts generated by a device. Using SNMP traps can

help ensure you have the most current device information without

having to continuously request information. For example, if a device

experiences an error, by enabling SNMP traps, the Printer DCA can

be notified of the error immediately instead of waiting until the next

scheduled Printer DCA scan.

Prior to enabling SNMP traps on the Printer DCA, you need to

specify in the internal configuration for each device that SNMP traps

should be sent to the IP address of the system installed with the

Printer DCA. This only needs to be done for devices that you want to

receive SNMP traps from.

After SNMP traps are enabled on the Printer DCA, each SNMP trap

received will trigger the Printer DCA to perform a regular data scan

on only the device that sent the SNMP trap. The results from this

scan will be sent to the central server as soon as possible. Once the

server has processed the information, and performs the next

scheduled check for new alerts, the corresponding alert will be

created in PrintFleet Optimizer.

To enable SNMP traps:

1.

Under the

Scan

tab, make sure the correct scan profile is

selected from the

Scan Profile

list. For more information on

scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.

2.

Under the

Advanced

tab, in the

Miscellaneous

area, select the

Enable SNMP Traps

check box.

3. Click

Save

.

Disabling real

time Printer DCA

status

By default, during a Printer DCA scan, the Printer DCA will display

the real time status of the scan under the

Status

tab. This includes

the profile name of the current scan, the IP address currently being

scanned, the total number of IP addresses in the scan profile, and
