Using the Printer Data Collection Agent
To change the number of SNMP retries used:
1. Under the Scan tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the Scan Profile list. For more information on
scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.
2. Under the General tab, in the Transmission Options area,
type or select the desired number of SNMP retries in the SNMP
Retries box.
3. Click Save .
Using Focus
Scans
Without using Focus Scan, the Printer DCA will scan each IP
address, IP range, and hostname specified in the scan range
settings every time the Printer DCA performs a full network scan.
Using Focus Scan, you can specify a periodic interval for the Printer
DCA to perform a full network scan, and the scans performed
between the intervals will scan only devices found during the
previous full network scan.
Using Focus Scan can decrease the amount of total time and
bandwidth that the Printer DCA occupies, particularly on large
networks, while ensuring that new or relocated document output
devices are discovered on a periodic basis.
To enable Focus Scan:
1. Under the Scan tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the Scan Profile list. For more information on
scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.
2. Under the Advanced tab, in the Focus Scan Options area,
select the Enable Focus Scan check box.
3. Specify how often you want a full network scan to run by
selecting either Days , Hours , or Minutes from the list, and
entering a number for the interval beside Full Discovery
Every . For example, if you enter
5
and select
Days
, a Focus
Scan will run once every five days.
4. Click Save .
Storing SNMP
community
strings
Community strings act as passwords on networked devices that
limit access via SNMP. Since the Printer DCA uses SNMP to collect
data from devices, any custom community strings on printing
devices put in place by network administrators can be manually
entered in the Printer DCA to allow it SNMP access to the device.
Most devices have a community string of
public
, and the Printer
DCA stores a community string of
public
by default.
To store community strings in the Printer DCA:
1. Under the Scan tab, make sure the correct scan profile is
selected from the Scan Profile list. For more information on
scan profiles, see “Managing scan profiles” on page 14.
2. Do one or more of the following under the Advanced tab, in the
SNMP Community Strings area:
• To add a community string, type an applicable community
string in the text box, and click Add . Repeat as necessary.
