PrintFleet Printer DCA
Using the Printer Data Collection Agent
•
To remove a community string, select a previously entered
community string, and then click
Remove
.
Note
Although it is possible to remove the
public
community string, you should only do so if you
know that all of the devices you want to monitor
are accessible via custom community strings.
If you remove the
public
community string, a
Fix
link will automatically appear below the list to allow
you to replace the
public
community string later if
necessary.
•
To reorder the list of community strings, click to highlight a
community string, and then click either the
Up
or
Down
button. Repeat as necessary. When the Printer DCA
encounters a device using a community string during the
network scan, it will attempt to use the first community
string listed, then the next, etc., until it is successful or it
runs out of community strings to attempt.
