If the read-write Community string is unknown, an alternative Community key can be used.
The alternative Community key is unique per ODU and can be used only to change the Com-

kept in a safe place.
If both the read-write Community and the alternative Community key are unavailable, then
an alternative Community key can be obtained from RADWIN Customer Support using the
ODU serial number or MAC address. The serial number is located on the product label. The

When you have the alternative Community key, click the Forgot Community button and
enter the Alternative Community key (Figure 8-10). Then change the read-write Community
string.
