Setting	Description
SNMP Version	Specifies the version of SNMP you want to use.
	Specifies the transport protocol for SNMP communications. SNMP can be
	implemented over two transport protocol:
	v2c—Used for standard models. Uses community-based authentication.
	v3—Used when you want a high security model. Requires a security user for
	notifications.
	Because UDP doesn't have error recovery services, it requires fewer network
	resources. It is well suited for repetitive, low-priority functions like alarm
	monitoring.
Transport	Specifies the transport protocol for SNMP communications. SNMP can be
	implemented over two transport protocols:
	TCP—This protocol has error-recovery services, message delivery is
	assured, and messages are delivered in the order they were sent. Some
	SNMP managers only support SNMP over TCP.
	UDP—This protocol does not provide error-recovery services, message
	delivery is not assured, and messages are not necessarily delivered in the
	order they were sent.
	Because UDP doesn't have error recovery services, it requires fewer network
	resources. It is well suited for repetitive, low-priority functions like alarm
	monitoring.
Port	Specifies the port that the RealPresence DMA system uses for general SNMP
	messages. By default, the RealPresence DMA system uses port 161.
Community	For SNMPv2c, specifies the context for the information, which is the SNMP
	group to which the devices and management stations running SNMP belong.
	The RealPresence DMA system has only one valid context—by default,
	public—which is identified by this Community name. The RealPresence
	DMA system will not respond to requests from management systems that do
	not belong to its community.
