HP ew2500 802.11b/g Print Server manual 12SNMP tab settings

CAUTION: Hewlett-Packard recommends using HP Web Jetadmin to configure SNMP v3 and other security settings on the print server.

If you use the HP Embedded Web Server, existing SNMP v3 accounts are removed. In addition, you must implement the SNMP v3 account information on the SNMP management application. For more information, see SNMP v3 on page 99.

	following information:
	User Name SNMP v3 account user name.
