and the trap destination.

abled.
Wireless Ace: *SNMPPORT
FIGURE 1.
SNMP generally uses port 161, however most Internet providers (including
Note:
cellular) block all ports below 1024 as a security measure. You should be able to
use a higher numbered port such as 10161.

Security Level

*SNMPSECLVL sets the security level and which version of SNMP communications are used.
Wireless Ace: *SNMPSECLVL
FIGURE 2.
0 - No security required. SNMPv2c and SMNPv3 communications are allowed.
1 - Authentication required. SNMPv3 is required to do authentication and SNMPv2c transmis-
sions will be silently discarded. Authentication is equivalent to the authNoPriv setting in
SNMPv3.
2 - Authentication required and messages are encrypted. SNMPv3 is required to do authentica-
tion. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 authNoPriv transmissions will be silently discarded. Authentica-
tion and encryption is equivalent to the authPriv setting in SNMPv3.

User Name and Password

The user name is 'user'. The user name cannot be changed. The Raven's password is used as the
SNMP password (default is '12345').
The eight-character password requirement for SMNPv3 is not enforced by
Note:
the Raven's Agent to allow the default password to function. Your SNMP adminis-
trator or MIS may require you to change to a more secure and/or longer password.
To change the password in the Raven, select Modem from the top menu line in Wireless Ace.
