Management Chapter 7
RADWIN Manager Community Strings
The ODU communicates with the RADWIN Manager using the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 protocol.
The SNMPv1 protocol defines three types of communities:
• Read ‐ Only for retrieving information from the ODU
• Read ‐ Write to configure and control the ODU
• Trap used by the ODU to issue traps.
The Community string must be entered at log on. You must know the password and the
correct Community string to gain access to the system. You may have read ‐ only privileges. It is
not possible to manage the ODU if the read ‐ write or the read Community values are
forgotten. A new Community value may be obtained from RADWIN Customer Service for the
purpose of setting new Community. You must also have available the serial number or the
MAC address of the ODU.
The read ‐ write Community strings and read ‐ only Community strings have a minimum of five
alphanumeric characters. ( bru1 and bru4097 are not permitted). Changing the trap
Community is optional and is done by clicking the check box.
Editing SNMPv1 Community Strings
When editing these strings, both read ‐ write and read ‐ only communities must be defined.
Upon logging on for the first time, use the following as the current Community:
• For Read ‐ Write Community, use netman .
• For Read ‐ Only Community, use public .
• For Trap Community, use public

To change a Community string:
1. Type the current read ‐ write Community (default is netman ).
2. Choose the communities to be changed by clicking the check box.
3. Type the new Community string and re ‐ type to confirm. A community string must
contain at least five and no more than 32 characters excluding SPACE, TAB, and any
of “>#@|*?;."
4. Click OK to save.
Editing SNMPv3 Passwords

shown in the first field of Figure 7 ‐ 12 below. Change the Read ‐ Write an d Read ‐ Only
passwords as indicated. A password must be between 8 and 31 characters long. The same
character restrictions for the SNMPv1 community strings also apply here.
