Community; Console Baud; Companding (Voice) - MCK EXTender PBXgateway II System Administrator Manual

Parameter Location:

Community

Configuration->IP->LAN->SNMP
Description: Used for SNMP. The Community string can be set to any
character string, but note that a network manager wishing to access a particular
EXTender must use the same Community string. This is only a weak form of
security as this Community string is passed in plain text in each SNMP packet.
Usage: This variable serves as a password to allow Network Managers to read
SNMP information on the EXTender. You should normally set the string to
PUBLIC.
Example: If SNMP is used for control and not for management, we recommend
using "Public" as a read only community string.
See Also: SNMP Setup on page 183.
