Connection Settings
You can configure various connection settings for communication between SyncThru™ Admin 5 and devices.
Default Connection Setting
• SNMP Timeout : SNMP connection timeout
• SNMP Retry Count : number of retries when SNMP communication fails
• SWS Login ID : SWS login ID
• SWS Login Password : SWS login password
Default SNMPv1/SNMPv2 Settings
• Read Community : The default read community name SyncThru™ Admin 5 uses. When discovering a device, if
the read community name value is different from the one here, SyncThru™ Admin 5 cannot bring device
information nor update other information. Usually public is set as a default name for read community name and so
is SyncThru™ Admin 5.
• Write Community : The default write community name SyncThru™ Admin 5 uses. When configuring a device, if
the write community name value is different from the one here, configuration does not work properly.
Default SNMPv3 Settings
SNMPv3 provides higher security than previous version of SNMP. If your devices enable only SNMPv3 and
SyncThru™ Admin 5 has no settings for SNMPv3, communication between devices and SyncThru™ Admin 5 will
always fail. If your devices are using SNMPv3, you need to configure the following options to be the same as what the
devices have.
• Context Name
• User Name
• Security Mode
• Authentication Protocol
• Authentication Password
• Privacy Protocol
• Privacy Password
Blocked Devices
You can block devices you do not need to manage via SyncThru™ Admin 5.
Devices are added to Blocked devices list when you delete the device from the Devices List with the Delete Devices
from System and Block option.
The blocked devices are not added into the Devices List when SyncThru™ Admin 5 discovers devices. To see the
blocked devices list, go to Settings menu > Settings > Device Management > Blocked devices.
If you want to manage the devices which have been blocked, delete the devices from the Blocked Devices. Then
SyncThru™ Admin 5 finds the devices and adds them to the Devices List.
Blocked devices will be grayed out in the Found Device List (See "Found Device List" on page 40).
Discovery
You can set settings for discovering devices.
From SyncThru™ Admin 5, click Settings menu > Settings > Device Management> Discovery.
Discovery options
You can configure additional discovery options.
Passive discovery options
Passive discovery literally means that SyncThru™ Admin 5 works passively. That is, devices send packets first and
SyncThru™ Admin 5 detects the packets. Passive discovery is quiet because SyncThru™ Admin 5 does not start
sending any packet first. SyncThru™ Admin 5 does not propagate any network traffic unless a device announces itself.
There are two types of passive discoveries.
• Enable SLP Discovery : If you enable SLP discovery, SyncThru™ Admin 5 starts listening for UDP traffic via port
427. When devices are powered on, they announce packets and SyncThru™ Admin 5 detects. Only Samsung
devices will be discovered. (SLP multicast address is 239.255.255.253.)
• Enable mDNS Discovery : If you enable mDNS discovery, SyncThru™ Admin 5 starts listening for UDP traffic via
port 5353. Devices announce packets continuously and SyncThru™ Admin 5 detects them. With this method, you
can discovery all mDNS compatible devices.
SNMPv3 Discovery option
By default, SyncThru™ Admin 5 does not discover SNMPv3 enabled devices. If you want to discover SNMPV3
enabled devices, you need to enable SNMPV3 discovery option.
• Enable SNMPv3 Discovery : To discover SNMPV3 enabled devices, check this option.
