 The Public community and Private community fields specify passwords
required to get or set SNMP-managed objects. Changing public and private
community names from their defaults is recommended to prevent unauthorized
access to the device.
– Public community: The password required to get SNMP-managed objects. The
default is “public.”
– Private community: The password required to set SNMP-managed objects. The
default is “private.”
 Allow SNMP clients to set device settings through SNMP: This checkbox
enables or disables the capability for users to issue SNMP set commands uses
use of SNMP read-only for the Digi Connect device.
 Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps: Enables or
disables the generation of SNMP traps.
 Destination IP: The IP address of the system to which traps are sent. In order to
enable any of the traps, a non-zero value must be specified. This field is
required in order for alarms to be sent in the form of SNMP traps. See
"Configure Alarms" on page 93.
 At the bottom of the page are checkboxes for the SNMP traps that can be used:
authentication failure, login, cold start, and link up traps.
Configuration through the Java Applet Interface
The Java applet interface for configuring devices is similar to the default web interface,
but has these differences:
 While the default web interface runs directly on the device, the Java applet runs
remotely. This means that when you start the Java applet, all the device settings
are updated from the device and stored in memory. These are the settings that
are shown when you click on a configuration choice or click Cancel.
 Because the Java applet runs remotely, it is not always aware when settings
have been changed by other users. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to
refresh the applet to retrieve those settings.
