2.Select System Location and enter the router’s physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).

3.Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the router.

System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Netopia 4752 SNMP agent for the SysName, SysLocation, and SysContact objects, respectively, in the MIB II system group. Although optional, the information you enter in these items can help a system administrator manage the network more efficiently.

Community strings

The Read-Only Community String and the Read/Write Community String are like passwords that must be used by an SNMP manager querying or configuring the Netopia 4752. An SNMP manager using the Read-Only Community String can examine statistics and configuration information from the router, but cannot modify the router’s configuration. An SNMP manager using the Read/Write Community String can both examine and modify configuration parameters.
