2.4.4 SNMP Configuration
Setting of SNMP parameters such as Community Write and Community Read strings requires a
Telnet
®
connection to port 9999. The following instructions explain how to establish such a
Telnet
®
connection using
Windows XP's Hyper Terminal utility.
Start the Hyper Terminal application and select “New Connection” from the “File” drop down menu. The next
screen is a “Connect To” dialog box. Select TCP/IP (Winsock) from the “Connect” using drop down menu.
Enter the IP address of the 4116-285-2450 in the “Host address:” field and 9999 in the “Port number” field.
Figure 2-E shows an example of the Hyper Terminal settings required to access the SNMP configuration menu.

Settings in Hyper Terminal
Once the
Telnet
®
connection is established you will be prompted to “Press Enter for Setup Mode.” Press enter
and a menu of device server configuration options will appear (see Figure 2-F). Select menu item 3, “SNMP
configuration.” You will be prompted to enter SNMP community read and write strings. After setting your
desired community strings you will be prompted to “Enter IP addresses for SNMP traps”. You must enter at
least one and up to four IP addresses of SNMP managers that will access the unit. This is required even though
SNMP traps are not implemented. The unit will not process SNMP SET and GET requests from an SNMP
manager unless the IP address associated with that manager is entered in the device server.
