reset. An authentication failure trap is sent when the Network Print Server receives an SNMP trap GET or SET request with an incorrect community name.

The Network Print Server 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 administrator will be notified via the Network Print Server traps over both UDP and IPX. Additionally, the Network Print Server can send traps on toner low, paper jam, and printer cover open, depending on the printer’s capabilities. 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 Network Print Server must have bi-directional status enabled (it is disabled by default). Extended Status can be enabled through the Network Print Server Configura- tion 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 com- munity 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.
