SNMP Community String
The SNMP Community String field enables you to name the SNMP Communities.
The names public and private are only default names. For security you should
change these names to help prevent unauthorized access to the DES-5600.
You can name the SNMP communities anything you like. You can enter up to 32
characters in each of the four fields. You can create up to four SNMP
Communities.

changes they desire.

Can be Enable or Delete. Only communities with Enable status can access the
DES-5600. Communities with Delete status cannot access the DES-5600.
