Restricting the Users Who Can Monitor/Change the Settings Using the SNMP Protocol

You can restrict the users who can specify and browse the settings using the SNMP protocol using a Web browser (Remote UI).
1
Start the Remote UI, and then log in as Administrator.
2
Select [Network] from the [Device Manager] menu.
3
Click [Change] under [SNMP].
4
Specify the settings for SNMP.

Configuring the SNMP Protocol

1.
Configure the SNMP v. 1 protocol.
If you want to use the SNMP v. 1 protocol
1.
Set [SNMP v. 1] to [On].
2.
Set [Community Name 1] or [Community Name 2] to [On].
3.
For [MIB Access Permission], select in which mode the SNMP v. 1 agent can operate, [Read/Write] or [Read Only].
4.
Specify the community name of SNMP in [Community Name]. Up to 32 characters can be entered.
The default value is "public" or "public2."
If you do not want to use the SNMP v. 1 protocol
Set [SNMP v. 1] to [Off].
IMPORTANT
If [MIB Access Permission] is set to [Read Only]
Selecting [Read Only] makes overwriting invalid, and you may not be able to use some functions of Canon utility software or to use the software properly due to an error occurring.
If [SNMP v. 1] is set to [Off]
You may not be able to specify or browse each option for this printer from utility software that uses the SNMP v. 1 protocol to obtain information.
Consult your network administrator before selecting [Off].
2.
Configure the SNMP v. 3 protocol.
If you want to use the SNMP v. 3 protocol
1.
Set [SNMP v. 3] to [On].
2.
If you want to specify user information to be used in the SNMP v. 3 protocol, click [User Settings], and then specify the user information in the [User Settings] page.
For details on the procedure for specifying user information, see Specifying Context Information to Be Used in the SNMP v. 3 Protocol.
3.
If you want to specify context information to be used in the SNMP v. 3 protocol, click [Context Settings], and then specify the context information in the [Context Settings] page.
For details on the procedure for specifying context information, see Specifying Context Information to Be Used in the SNMP v. 3 Protocol.
If you do not want to use the SNMP v. 3 protocol
Set [SNMP v. 3] to [Off].
3.
Specify [Get Printer Management Information from Host] as needed.
If you set [Get Printer Management Information from Host] to [On], the port monitoring function by SNMP becomes effective automatically when you install the printer driver on Windows Vista, 7 or Server 2008.
NOTE
The port monitoring function by SNMP
The port monitoring function by SNMP is a function of Standard TCP/IP Port, and it periodically obtains printer management information such as information about print applications and ports, using SNMP.
4.
Proceed to Step 5.

Specifying User Information to Be Used in the SNMP v. 3 Protocol

1.
Click [User Settings].
2.
Specify the user information to be used in the SNMP v. 3 protocol.
If You Want to Change the Status (Valid/Invalid) of User Information
(1)
Click [  ] on the left of the user information to change the mark to [  ].
(2)
Click [User On/Off].
NOTE
Checking the status (valid/invalid) of user information
You can check the status (valid/invalid) of user information with the status of [On/Off] in the [User Settings] page.
For user information in the valid status:
[On/Off] is set to [On].
For user information in the invalid status:
[On/Off] is set to [Off].
If You Want to Register/Edit User Information
1.
If you want to register user information, click [Register].
If you want to edit user information, click the user name.
2.
In [User Name], enter the user name to be used in the SNMP v. 3 protocol. Up to 32 alphanumeric characters can be entered.
3.
For [MIB Access Permission], select in which mode the SNMP v. 3 agent can operate, [Read/Write] or [Read Only].
4.
In [Security Settings], specify the security to be used in SNMP v. 3.
5.
For [Authentication Algorithm], select the authentication algorithm to be used in SNMP v. 3 from [MD5] or [SHA1].
6.
Set the authentication password.
[Authentication Password]:
Enter the password to be used for the authentication function of the authentication algorithm. 6 to 16 alphanumeric characters can be entered.
[Confirm]:
To confirm the password, enter the entered [Authentication Password] again.
If you are not using the SSL encrypted communication function, you cannot specify the settings using the Remote UI. Enable the SSL encrypted communication function or specify the settings using the control panel.
For details on the SSL encrypted communication function, see "Setting "a Key and Its Certificate" to Be Used for the SSL Encrypted Communication Function".
7.
Set the encryption password.
[Encryption Password]:
Enter the password to be used for the encryption function of the encryption algorithm. 6 to 16 alphanumeric characters can be entered.
[Confirm]:
To confirm the password, enter the entered [Encryption Password] again.
If you are not using the SSL encrypted communication function, you cannot specify the settings using the Remote UI. Enable the SSL encrypted communication function or specify the settings using the control panel.
For details on the SSL encrypted communication function, see "Setting "a Key and Its Certificate" to Be Used for the SSL Encrypted Communication Function".
The setting for [Encryption Algorithm] is fixed at [DES], and you cannot specify the setting.
8.
Click [OK].
If You Want to Erase User Information
(1)
Click [  ] on the left of the user information to change the mark to [  ].
(2)
Click [Erase].
(3)
