SNMP Settings

Community name

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
1 to 39 characters	public	Optional
(E.g., Support, 886-89191230 #300)

A community name is a plain-text password mechanism that is used to weakly authenticate queries to agents of managed network devices.

IP Address Report

When NE-4100 Series products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For example, NE-4100 works as a server (TCP or UDP), and the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the server, the host must take care of what happens when the IP changes. NE-4100 Series products help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location server, in case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure the Auto IP report function. There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive NE-4100’s Auto IP report.

1.Use NE-4100 Series Administrator’s IP Address Report function.

2.Refer to Appendix C for the “Auto IP report protocol” to develop your own software.

Auto report to IP

Setting	Factory Default	Necessity
E.g., 192.168.1.1 or URL	None	Optional
(IP addresses of the form x.x.x.0 and
x.x.x.255 are invalid.)

Reports generated by the Auto report function will be sent automatically to this IP address.

Auto report to TCP port

E.g., 4001	4002	Optional
Auto report period
