RADWIN Manager Community Strings

The ODU communicates with the RADWIN Manager using SNMPv1 protocol. The protocol
defines three types of communities:
• Read-Only for retrieving information from the ODU
• Read-Write to configure and control the ODU
• Trap used by the ODU to issue traps.
The Community string must be entered at log on. The user must know the password and the
correct Community string to gain access to the system. A user may have read-only privileges.
It is not possible to manage the ODU if the read-write or the read Community values are for-
gotten. A new Community value may be obtained from RADWIN Customer Support for the
purpose of setting new Community. You must also have available the serial number or the
MAC address of the ODU.
The read-write Community strings and read-only Community strings have a minimum of five
alphanumeric characters. (bru1 and bru4097 are not permitted). Changing the trap Com-
munity is optional and is done by clicking the check box.

Editing Community Strings

The Community change dialog box is available from the Configuration | Security tab. Both
read-write and read-only communities must be defined.
On logging on for the first time, use the following as the current Community:
• For Read-Write Community, use netman.
• For Read-Only Community, use public.
• For Trap Community, use public

To change a Community string:
1. From the Configuration dialog box, choose the Security tab.
2. Type the current read-write Community (default is netman).
3. Choose the communities to be changed by clicking the check box.
4. Type the new Community string and re-type to confirm. A community string must
contain at least five and no more than 32 characters excluding SPACE, TAB, and any
of ">#@|*?;."
5. Click OK to save.
