v Does not work, the server concludes that the printer is turned off or is not currently connected to the network. It leaves use-snmp set to "true" and continues trying to establish an SNMP connection with the printer. 3. Check the actual destination attribute snmp-active. If it is "true", the printer works with SNMP. Using the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface To use the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface to check and set the attributes: 1. From the menu bar, select Printer or Server, as appropriate. 2. Select Properties. You see the printer properties or server properties notebook. 3. Select the SNMP tab. 4. Check and set the appropriate attributes on the SNMP tab as explained in "Procedures." Procedures Do these steps to check and set the attributes: 1. Check these actual destination attributes: v snmp-community-name Indicates the name of the SNMP community that the printer belongs to. The default is "public". The field on the SNMP tab is "Community name". | v snmp-write-community-name | Indicates the name of the SNMPv1 write community that the printer belongs | to. There is no default. The field on the SNMP tab is "Write community | name". | When the snmp-write-community-name attribute is set properly and you | have write permission to the actual destination, you can set the contact and | location information and execute device commands on the printer associated | with an actual destination. v snmp-retry-count Indicates the number of times the server should retry an SNMP request if it fails. The higher the number, the more network traffic. Using a lower number can improve performance. The default is "2". The field on the SNMP tab is "Number of times to retry". v snmp-timeout Indicates the number of seconds the server should wait for the printer to respond to an SNMP request. Using a lower number can improve performance. The default is "5". The field on the SNMP tab is "Timeout". v snmp-active-version Specifies which version of SNMP InfoPrint Manager is using to communicate with a printer. The value may be different than the value of snmp-version if the SNMPv3 communication fails. | v snmpv3-username | Specifies the user the message is being exchanged for. This attribute is | SNMPv3 specific and must be set when changing the snmp-version attribute | to SNMPv3. The attribute value must match the same value set on the | printer. v snmpv3-authentication-type 40 InfoPrint Manager for AIX: Procedures

Does not work

, the server concludes that the printer is turned off or is not

currently connected to the network. It leaves

use-snmp

set to “true” and

continues trying to establish an SNMP connection with the printer.

Check the actual destination attribute

snmp-active

. If it is “true”, the printer

works with SNMP.

Using the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface

To use the InfoPrint Manager Administration Interface to check and set the

attributes:

From the menu bar, select

Printer

Server

, as appropriate.

Select

Properties

. You see the printer properties or server properties notebook.

Select the

SNMP

tab.

Check and set the appropriate attributes on the SNMP tab as explained in

“Procedures.”

Procedures

Do these steps to check and set the attributes:

Check these actual destination attributes:

snmp-community-name

Indicates the name of the SNMP community that the printer belongs to. The

default is “public”. The field on the SNMP tab is "Community name”.

snmp-write-community-name

Indicates the name of the SNMPv1 write community that the printer belongs

to. There is no default. The field on the SNMP tab is "Write community

name”.

When the

snmp-write-community-name

attribute is set properly and you

have write permission to the actual destination, you can set the contact and

location information and execute device commands on the printer associated

with an actual destination.

snmp-retry-count

Indicates the number of times the server should retry an SNMP request if it

fails. The higher the number, the more network traffic. Using a lower number
