About SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol
governing network management and the monitoring of network devices
and their functions. The Prestige supports the utilization of SNMP to
regulate the communication that occurs between the manager station
and the agent stations in a network. Basically, the Prestige, when
connected to the LAN, acts as an agent station. In this way, the
manager station on your LAN can monitor the Prestige as it would
another station on the network. Keep in mind that SNMP is only
available if TCP/IP is configured on your Prestige.
