Creating a user account

To create a new security account for a terminal operator, select the Users tab on the Security dialog box. This tab lists all the operator accounts and shows which accounts are set up with Administrator security privileges and which accounts are enabled.

For more information about creating user accounts, see Creating user accounts on page 8 in Chapter 3.

SNMP

You can manage the terminal through standard third-party simple network management protocol (SNMP) tools. The SNMP Network Administration dialog box allows you to enter parameters required for SNMP management.

SNMP agents run in network elements and respond to Network Management Station (NMS) queries (GETs). SNMP provides a means to query all terminals assigned to a specific community. Each community should have a unique name, and all members of a community have the same access privileges. You can assign a single terminal to multiple communities.

Agents send unsolicited reports (traps) back to a specified IP address when a particular network activity occurs. The following traps are supported: cold start, warm start, authentication failure, link down, and link up.

To add a new community:

1.Click the Agent tab.

2.In the Traps section, click Add Community.

3.Type the new community name, and then click OK.
