Oki 6010E manual Security

Section II - Advanced Management Features

The OkiLAN 6010e sends printer traps when there is a change in the status of the printer. If the printer goes off-line, runs out of paper or is detached, the adminis- trator will be notified via the OkiLAN 6010e traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the OkiLAN 6010e can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open. The traps may be configured for specific destination addresses and can be configured for a particular printer port and/or printer trap.

In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6010e must have bidirectional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6010e Configuration utility (telnet) from the Configure Port option. You can also enable OkiNet Alert through OkiNet for TCP/IP or IPX from the Output Port file tab.

Security

SNMP implements a simple security system known as community names. Each SNMP message has a commu- nity name associated with the command in the message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get commu- nity name and a Trap community name. When the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the com- munity name of the message with the community name of the device. If the community names do not match, the Agent discards the message and sends an authenti- cation failure trap.
