Use Hosts Check Box
The Use Hosts check box determines whether queries are allowed by specified SNMP monitoring devices.
If this check box is selected, then only devices included in the Hosts list are allowed to send SNMP requests to the device. If the
device receives an SNMP request, and the sender’s IP address does not appear in the list of hosts, then the request is silently
discarded.
If the check box is not selected, then the targeted device responds to any and all SNMP requests, no matter the sender’s IP address.
Host 1 though Host 5 Field
The Host 1 through Host 5 fields are used to enter the IP addresses of host machines that can send SNMP requests to the intercom.

string is often public.

community string included in all SNMP traps generated by the intercom.
