Community Name Access Policy

In order to perform any operations on the SNMP Community Names screen, you must have used the super-user community name at the user Password prompt when initiating the Local Management session. The default community name for each access level is public or press

ENTER.

The following explains each of the SNMP Community Names screen fields:

Community Name — Displays the user-defined names through which a user accesses HSIM-W6 Local Management. Any community name entered here acts as a password to Local Management.

Access Policy — Indicates the access status accorded each community name. Possible status conditions are:

•read-only – This access level allows reading of device parameters not including community names.

•read-write – This access level allows editing of some device configuration parameters not including changing community names.

•super-user – This access level allows full management privileges.

Setting SNMP Community Names

To set a community name, perform the following steps:

If you edit the super-user community name, be certain you do not forget it. If you do, you

!will be unable to perform Local Management functions without returning the device to its

CAUTION	factory default configurations. This will effectively erase any configuration work you may
	have done.
