Oki 6120E manual Security

Section 2 - Chapter 1 - SNMP

In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN 6120e must have bi-directional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN 6120e 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 community name associated with the command in the message. SNMP allows for a Set community name, Get community name and a Trap community name. When the SNMP Agent receives a command, it checks the community 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 authentication failure trap.

Both the OkiNet for TCP/IP and the IPX, and the OkiLAN 6120e Configuration utility (telnet) allow you to specify the community names and a trap destination IP address.
