Security Server Configuration
4 - 8
4.7 Security
4.7.1 SNMP Security
Since SNMP can be used to change server settings, a way to prevent unauthorized set commands
is needed. The server provides a security mechanism for restricting SNMP access to the unit that is
linked to the SNMP community name used. By default, only the name Public is allowed, and it is
given only Read privileges. To prevent easy access to the allowed community names, the Show
and List SNMP commands are restricted to privileged users.
Set SNMP requires a community name and an access type: Readonly, Both (read and write), or
None. Clear requires that you enter either a community name to remove an individual entry or the
All parameter to clear the entire table. SNMP queries or Set requests that are not permitted are
sent an error reply specifying the problem.
Binary
If enabled, prevents the
RapidPrint 500
from processing the
data stream. Disabling this feature, the default, allows the
Rapid-
Print 500
to convert <LF> to <CR><LF> and possibly perform
tab expansion. PostScript (below) implies binary mode. Binary
should be enabled for PCL jobs.
DLC If enabled, handles NT DLC print connections. Only once service
per server can have DLC enabled.
Formfeed If enabled, appends a Formfeed to print jobs.
NetWare If enabled, allows print queues on NetWare fileservers to use this
service. Note that if NetWare is not enabled on any
RapidPrint
500
services, the
RapidPrint 500
will not poll the fileservers; it
will only poll if there is a possible queue in use.
Postscript
If enabled, queries the printer (via Ctrl-D exchanges) to make
sure it is ready for a new job before starting any job. Any service
supporting only a PostScript printer should also have this flag
enabled.
