Assigning Community Names
Community names are used to control Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) access to the
AP and CPE unit. The Public Community Name allows read-only access. The Private Community
Name allows read and write access. The factory default for the SNMP Public Community Name is
public
and for the Private Community Name it is
netman
. Any SNMP manager can access and
configure any unit on the network as long as the unit has the correct community names and Ethernet
access is enabled (see
Setting Ethernet and wireless access to the TCP/IP Stack , page 50 ).
