From the Main Menu, select SNMP in the System Configuration screen and press Return. The SNMP Setup
screen appears.
System Name:
System Location:
System Contact:
Read-Only Community String:
Read/Write Community String:

IP Trap Receivers...
Configure optional SNMP parameters from here.
Follow these steps to configure the first three items in the screen:
1.
Select System Name and enter a descriptive name for the Netopia D-Series's SNMP agent.
2.
Select System Location and enter the Netopia D-Series's physical location (room, floor, building, etc.).
3.
Select System Contact and enter the name of the person responsible for maintaining the Netopia
D-Series.
System Name, System Location, and System Contact set the values returned by the Netopia D-Series SNMP
agent for the SysName, SysLocation, and SysContact objects, respectively, in the MIB II system group. Although
optional, the information you enter in these items can help a system administrator manage the network more
efficiently.
The Read-Only Community String and the Read/Write Community String are like passwords that must be used
by an SNMP manager querying or configuring the Netopia D-Series. An SNMP manager using the Read-Only
Community String can examine statistics and configuration information from the Netopia D-Series, but cannot
modify the Netopia D-Series's configuration. An SNMP manager using the Read/Write Community String can
both examine and modify configuration parameters.
