OKI OkiLAN 6120i User’s Guide

Advanced Management

In order to receive OkiNet Alert traps, the OkiLAN
6120i must have bi-directional status enabled.
Extended Status can be enabled through the OkiLAN
6120i 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 6120i Configuration utility (telnet) allow you
to specify the community names and a trap destination
IP address.
