Configuring Settings for Device Management Software
You can facilitate the collection and management of various information about networked devices by implementing device management software, such as iW Management Console*, into the network. Information such as device settings, Address Books, and error logs is retrieved and distributed via the server computer. If the machine is connected to such a network, iW searches the network for the machine by using protocols such as Service Location Protocol (SLP) to gather information from the machine. Sets SLP settings and settings for communication between the machine and plug-ins for iW Management Console. These settings are performed via Remote UI.

You need to enable dedicated port setting and SNMP setting (either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3) to communicate with an iW Management Console plug-in. Select [Read/Write](full access permission) for [MIB Access Permission] in SNMP setting (either SNMPv1 or SNMPv3). Dedicated Port SettingsMonitoring and Controlling the Machine with SNMP
