NMS1–NMS3
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a standard protocol used to monitor
devices and the networks to which they attach.
The NMS1, NMS2, NMS3 menus allow you to identify and configure up to three
Network Management Stations (NMSs). You must provide the following information
about each NMS that you want to be able to access the printer: Internet address, community name, and access.
NMSx Community Name
A community is a group of SNMP agents managed by an NMS, and a community
name is associated with a specific NMS address. For the NMS to gain access to the
device, the correct community name (up to 15 characters in length) must be supplied
when connecting.
