SNMP
SNMPv1 (Administration>Network>SNMPv1>options)
All user names, passwords, and community names for SNMP are transferred over the
network as plain text. If your network requires the high security of encryption, disable
SNMP access or set the access for each community to Read. (A community with Read
access can receive status information and use SNMP traps.)
When using InfraStruXure Manager or Central to manage a Rack PDU on the public
network of an InfraStruXure system, you must have SNMP enabled in the Rack PDU
interface. Read access will allow InfraStruXure Manager or Central to receive traps
from a Rack PDU, but Write access is required while you use the interface of the Rack
PDU to set InfraStruXure Manager or Central as a trap receiver.

Utility CD or from the APC Web site, www.apc.com.
