Communication Environment Setup
This section describes how to set up the environment for communication between
the machine and computers on your network.
IMPORTANT
•
If you are configuring the settings for the first time, use the control panel of this machine.
After configuring the settings, you can change them using the Remote UI. (See Chapter
3, “Customizing Settings,” in the
Remote UI Guide .)
•
Settings that have been changed from the control panel become effective after the
machine is restarted.
SNMP Settings
SNMP helps monitor the state of the machine and collects information on it. This
information can then be accessed from a computer connected to the machine. The
following items can be set:
•
<Community Name 1/2>
Define the SNMP community name. You can specify up to two community names
for the machine.
•
<Writable SNMP 1/2>
You can set the machine to enable the computers on the network to access the
machine and modify its settings. This item can be specified separately for each
community.
•
<Print Manage. Info>
You can set the machine to automatically enable the SNMP port monitoring
function to obtain printer management information, such as information on print
applications and printer ports. You must use a computer running Windows Vista/7
and set [Standard TCP/IP port] for the printer driver port.
IMPORTANT
•
If you want to use a Canon printer driver or utility, set <SNMP Settings> to ‘On’.
•
You can restrict the IP addresses and/or MAC addresses of computers on which items
can be set or browsed. If you restrict these addresses, it is not possible to use the
Remote UI to set or browse detailed information from computers other than those whose
IP addresses are allowed, regardless of the SNMP Settings. For details, see “Access
Control,” on p. 2-38.
