Change Community String
The community string must be the same for AP Manager and APs. Or, AP
Manager only monitors AP with the same community string. This function
enables you to change community strings for APs to prevent other AP
Mangers from accessing and managing your APs. After changing strings,
you have to complete the following steps for the consistency of community
strings.
1. Go to “Task Bar” -> “Password” -> “Set Commuinity String” and set the
community string for AP Manager.
2. Remember or write down the community string.
When you forget the community string, just press the “Reset” button to reset the
AP settings (including community string) to default values.
Note:
SNMP community string defines the relationship between SNMP AP
Manager and agent systems (all APs) and controls the access of AP
Manager to APs with password. The default value is “public”. Go to “Task
Bar” -> “Password” -> “Set Commuinity String” and change the community
string for AP Manager.
