Note: Functionally identical versions of this display are used by the "SNMPv1/SNMPv3 Device Discovery," "Apply Firmware Updates," and "APC SNMP Device Configuration" wizards, as well as by Device File Transfer Settings, an SNMP Device Communication Settings option in the Device menu. A change saved in one display is reflected in all.

To use FTP for APC SNMP device access, FTP server access must be enabled at that device.

To use SCP for APC SNMP device access, Secure Shell version 2 (SSHv2) console access must be enabled at that device.
