User names, passwords, community names (SNMP)

All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the network as plain text. A user who is capable of monitoring the network traffic can determine the user names and passwords required to log on to the accounts of the control console or Web interface of the Battery Management System. If your network requires the higher security of the encryption-based options available for the control console and Web interface, be sure to disable SNMP access or set its access to read-only. (Read-only access allows you to receive status information and to use SNMP traps.)
