Paradyne 8540, 8546 manual Community String Entries

5446 RTU Setup

Community String Entries

The Community String Selection fields are located before the selection buttons near the bottom of the screen and can display a read-only and a read-write community string.

The read-write Community Name defaults to ‘private’. The read-write Community Name is used by the IP Injection tool to send SNMP messages to the 5446 RTU. The IP Injection tool and the 5446 RTU also use the private Community Name to make changes to the 5446 RTU configuration.

To change a community string, enter the new community string in the text input box (up to 32 characters). Click on the Inject button. Changes to:

HRead-write community string result in two messages: Operation successful followed by SNMP Timeout Error. Enter the newly created community string in the top right Community field and click on the Get All button to finalize the update.

HRead-only community string results in the message: Operation successful. If you click on the Get All button with the read-only community string, the read-write community string will display <unknown> for security purposes. The read-only Community Name defaults to ‘public’.
