2-7 User Guide


KYOCERA Client Tool

Clear the check box for the DHCP protocol. Enter the IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway values.
SNMP
The SNMP protocol is used for providing and transferring management
information within the network environment.
SNMPv1/v2c communicates with the managed device using Read
community and Write community, which can each have up to 16
characters. The default community is public. If the computer is not
connected, you can still enter Read community and Write community
settings.
For some network supported models, SNMPv3 is enabled. These settings
must match the network card settings. The network card has settings for
both an authentication password and an encryption password, but they must
both match the driver password.
Authentication
This option provides an algorithm to check that a transferred file has arrived
intact. Message Digest 5 (MD5) and Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA1) are
hash algorithms used to authenticate packet data.
MD5
This option provides a cryptographic hash function with a 128-bit hash value.
SHA1
This option produces a message digest that is 160 bits long. SHA1 is the
successor to MD5.
Privacy
This option uses encryption for secure communication. It is available after
you select the Authentication option. You may select one privacy option.
(The network card does not support AES encrypted communication.)
DES
This option uses the Data Encryption Standard for encryption. DES turns
cleartext into ciphertext via an encryption algorithm. It encrypts and decrypts
data using 8-byte blocks and a 56-bit key.
AES
This option uses the Advanced Encryption Standard for encryption. AES is a
symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher
keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. It is more secure than DES.
Enter sysContact, sysName, and sysLocation information up to 32
characters. Select Enable authentication traps to activate device
authentication.
SNMP Traps
In Configuration > SNMP Traps, you can select SNMP trap settings for 1 or 2
IP addresses. Should an error occur, such as Add paper, the device
automatically generates a trap. The trap sends an error message to one or two
predetermined trap recipients. The trap server is the SNMP trap packet receiver
which runs in the application. The default community is public.
For each IP address, select the Trap Recipient 1 or Trap Recipient 2 check
box, enter the name of the trap community and IP address, and select from
available events.
