Monitoring and Controlling the Machine with SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for monitoring and controlling communication devices in a network by using Management Information Base (MIB). The machine supports SNMPv1. You can check the status of the machine from a computer when you print documents or use the Remote UI.

The machine does not support the trap notification feature of SNMP.
To change the port number of SNMP, see Changing Port Numbers(MF212w).
SNMP management software, when installed on a computer on the network, enables you to configure, monitor, and control the machine remotely from the computer. For more information, see the instruction manuals for your management software.
