CREATING COMMUNITY STRINGS
Community strings add a level of security to a network. The default community string
is named "public" and has read/write access. For security, "public" should be
replaced with custom community strings such as ones created with read-only access
(for general use), and another with read/write access (for administrator).
To create a new community string, go to the main configuration screen and press C.
Enter the name of the new community (up to 16 characters, no spaces) and press
Enter. Type one of the following to assign the community string's access rights:
• R = read-only access
• W = read/write access
• Enter = abort
After entering R or W, press Enter. To finish, press Enter and reboot.
DELETING COMMUNITY STRINGS
To delete all community strings, perform the following:
Press U. The "Are you sure you want to delete all community strings?" prompt is
displayed. Press Y when prompted to proceed and delete all community strings, N to
abort. Press Enter to finish.
This function will delete ALL community strings. To selectively delete community strings,
use iView 2 (iConfig view) to configure the device.
ENDING THE SESSION
Press E to end a serial port or Telnet/HyperTerminal session before disconnecting the
serial cable. This will stop the continuous stream of data to the serial port.
