In this window the Name, Location and Contact can be changed.
When more than one device is chosen, the Change Info button is activated; clicking it also brings up the Change Device

5.3.6 SNMP Agent
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) involves the device agent, which controls the managed objects in the
device.
This application is used to configure the SNMP agent that sends SNMP traps to the AlliedView NMS or other hosts, as well
as configure SNMP communities.
When the SNMP Agent application is chosen the following figure appears.
Note: When going from one application to another, and the next application has not yet been used, the devices that were in the first
application are carried over to the second, which is why the three devices from backup/restore are now selected in the SNMP
Agent Panel.
