Disable SNMP

This setting allows you to disable the SNMP protocol on the unit for security reasons.

Disable SNMP (N) ? _

SNMP Community Name

The SNMP Community Name is a required field for NMS to read or write to a device.
Enter a string of 1 to 13 characters.

SNMP Community Name (public): _

The default entry is

public

. The current value is displayed in parentheses.

Disable Telnet Setup

Note:

If you choose to disable this option, keep in mind that disabling both

Telnet Setup

and

Port 77FE

will prevent users from accessing Setup Mode from

the network.

This setting defaults to the

N

(No) option. The

Y

(Yes) option disables access to Setup

Mode by Telnet (port 9999). It only allows access locally using the web pages and the
serial port of the unit.

Disable Telnet Setup (N) ? _

Disable TFTP Firmware Upgrade

This setting defaults to the

N

(No) option. The

Y

(Yes) option disables the use of TFTP to

perform network firmware upgrades. With this option, you can download firmware
upgrades over the serial port using DeviceInstaller’s Recover Firmware procedure. (See

Chapter 11: Firmware Upgrades

and the DeviceInstaller online Help.

Disable TFTP Firmware Update (N) : _

Disable Port 77FE (Hex)

Note:

If you choose to disable this option, keep in mind that disabling both

Telnet Setup

and

Port 77FE

will prevent users from accessing Setup Mode from

the network.

Port 77FE is a setting that allows DeviceInstaller, Web Manager, and custom programs to
configure the unit remotely. You may wish to disable this capability for security purposes.

Disable Port 77FEh (N) ? _

The default setting is the

N

(No) option, which enables remote configuration. You can

configure the unit by using DeviceInstaller, Web Manager, Telnet, or serial configuration.

The

Y

(Yes) option disables remote configuration and web sites.
