"
To communicate beyond the private (internal) network and into the internet, all
messages must be relayed via the gateway (firewall). As a result, the firewall must
be configured separately by the end-user to facilitate communication. Consult your
network administrator if establishing communication link beyond the private
network.
For convenience and future reference, a chart is provided below to record IP configuration for this SNMP
network. (Additional blank charts have also been added at the end of this manual.)

Once the Network Setup parameters have been configured, exit Network Setup by pressing X then

prompt.
6.2.2. SNMP Setup
In the SNMP Setup menu, three parameters are configured:
Read Community
String
Factory default “public” (No changes required. However, if these settings are
changed, the manager must have the identical settings. Otherwise no
communication will occur between the 7700FC and manager.)
Read/Write
Community String
Factory default “private” (No changes required. However, if these settings are
changed, the manager must have the identical settings. Otherwise no
communication will occur between the 7700FC and manager.)
Trap Setup
This menu item identifies the destination IP addresses (SNMP Trap Handlers)
to which TRAPS are sent via SNMP. A maximum of five IP addresses may be
entered.
Once the SNMP Setup parameters have been configured, exit SNMP Setup by pressing X then <Enter>.
6.2.2.1. Community Strings
Community Strings are considered as “passwords” within SNMP, controlling the ability to read (“GET”)
and/or read/write (“SET”) values to a specific destination. “GET” and “SET” messages include the
community strings within their PDU (protocol data units). By factory default, community strings are set to
“public” and “private”, respectively. If these settings are changed, the SNMP manager’s community string
must agree with the “SET” string. Otherwise no communication will occur between the 7700FC and
manager.
