		security-protected fields of read-write or super-user
		authorization.

4.4.1Establishing Community Names

The password used to access Local Management at the Password Screen must have super-user access to view and edit the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen. Using a password with read-only or read-write access does not allow the viewing or editing of the SNMP Community Names Configuration screen.

To establish community names, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Community Name field adjacent to the selected access level.

2.Enter the password in the field (maximum 32 characters).

3.Press ENTER.

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 to modify the other community names.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” displays. The community names are saved to memory and their access modes implemented.

NOTE: Exiting without saving causes a “NOT SAVED?” message to display at the top left of the screen. Edits are lost if they are not saved before exiting.
