Configuring SNMP

The meter supports SNMP allowing a network administrator to access the meter remotely with an SNMP manager and view the networking status and diagnostics of the meter in the MIB-II format.

NOTE: You can configure the SNMP parameters only when you enable the SNMP in the IP Network Services section (Refer to Configuring IP network services).

Click Settings > Communication > SNMP.
Modify the parameters as required.
