To configure monitoring using SNMP, go to Network > SNMP.
The IP VCR sends out an SNMP trap when the device is shut down or started up. The SMNP page allows you to set
various parameters; when you are satisfied with the settings, click Update SNMP settings.
Note that:
• The 'system up time' that appears in the trap is the time since SNMP was initialized on the IP VCR (and
therefore will differ from the Up time reported by the IP VCR on the Status > General page).
• The SNMP MIBs are read-only.

name. The default setting is:

than one IP VCR to identify where the unit is
located. The default setting is:

Add the administrator’s email address or name to
identify who to contact when there is a problem
with the device. If SNMP is enabled for a port on
the public network, take care with the details you
