Usage Guidelines

  • While this attribute is accessed through an actual destination, the information comes from the device the actual destination represents and not the actual destination, which is why InfoPrint considers this a device-specific attribute. This attribute is not contained in the actual destination's attributes set. You can list the device-specific attributes with the pdls command by specifying -r all-device.
  • If the value of the snmp-active actual destination attribute is false, this attribute is ignored.
  • The device must support this attribute to query or set this attribute.
  • To change the device-contact attribute with SNMPv1 activ, you must have write permission to the actual destination and the snmp-write-community-name actual destination attribute must be set properly.
  • To change the device-contact attribute with SNMPv3 activ, you must have write permission to the actual destination and the snmpv3-username actual destination attribute must be set properly.
  • The actual destination does not need to be disabled to change the value of this attribute.
  • You can not set device attributes and actual destination attributes in the same request.
  • You can not use anything other than the Replace operator of the pdset command for this attribute.
