Configuration
Once connected to a network, assign the SNMP Management Module IP
configuration information (e.g., IP address, subnet mask, etc.). There are four ways
to do this:
Using the Webserver version.
Using the Management Module’s serial port.
Using DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol); DHCP must be enabled through
serial configuration or Telnet, via Web-HTTP.
Telnet (Default IP=10.10.10.10; subnet mask 255.0.0.0)
In addition to assigning an IP address and subnet mask, the SNMP Management
Module allows creation of community strings, assigning access rights, configuration
of traps and more. After assigning an IP address, use iView² or another SNMP
compatible Network Management System (NMS) to remotely configure, monitor and
manage the modules installed.

modules without generating Traps, such as Link Up, Link Down).
Note!
When removing an SNMP card with the SNMP Write Lock enabled (set
to LOCKED), current application modules settings will not be changed.
Never power-cycle the chassis while the SNMP Write Lock is enabled.
Doing so will revert the SNMP card back to its original factory settings.
(iView² should only be accessed with the SNMP Write Lock disabled.)
