is received. When this condition is encountered, pushing the
"enter" key returns the unit to the service terminal mode.
3. SNMP Communications Menu
The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
Communications Menu specifies parameters particular to the
SNMP interface. Communities are used as a means of security
for SNMP v1; only specified hosts with the appropriate
community name(s) are allowed to perform particular SNMP
operations. Up to 20 different communities can be assigned.
For each community, specify the dotted decimal IP address of
the remote host, the privilege level (read or read/write), and
community name. Trap Communities specify the recipient(s) of
SNMP trap messages generated by the OpenComms Network
Interface Card. Typically, the recipient is the management
station of the NMS. Specify the destination IP address, and the
community name for that host. Up to 20 trap communities can be
assigned. For Communities and Trap Communities, the
information can be entered as a “complex” line — all parameters
space-delimited on the command line. Otherwise, the menu
items will prompt for each individual parameter.
Note: SNMP v1 communities are transmitted in
plain (unencrypted) text across the network.
Authentication failure traps may be enabled, so that the network
management system can be warned when unauthorized access
(i.e.: incorrect community name) is attempted.
4. Web Server
The Web Server section will allow the user to disable / enable
the HTTP session for the card. Disabling the Web Server means
that web browsers will not be able to access the devices status
graphical page (GUI).
