RNAS-1200 Series Modify Network Settings
6-6
Moxa strongly recommends changing the read/write community to a cryptographically strong, private key.
Public is the default, and this will allow any computer to read and write data from the local device. To set up
a cryptographically strong private string on the RNAS-1200, enter your chosen string into the Read/Write
Community input box and click Apply.
IMPORTANT!
Strong cryptographic s
trings should be at least 8 random characters (i.e., not in a dictionary) and include
capitalized letters and symbols.
Do not forget to store your community keys in a secure location.
SNMP MIB Download
The RNAS-1200 comes with two MIB files: a standard RFC 1213 MIB-II file, and a custom Moxa MIB file. Our
custom MIB file provides extra features for our RNAS users that include increased interoperability for scripts
and custom software, as well as custom control features for better remote management.
As new features are created, Moxa’s proprietary MIB file will occasionally need to be updated. To get the latest
MIB file from the Moxa website, simply click Download (at the bottom of the page, in the screenshot above)
to download the file to your local computer.
SNMP Traps
This page allows users to configure SNMP trap types and settings (screenshot on following page).
In Trap Settings, you may choose to set the following parameters:
• Version: Select the SNMP version by which your traps will be defined. This is an available option for
systems compatible only with traps as defined in SNMP v1.
• Server Port: Enter the number of the port through which your SNMP agent and NMS will communicate.
• Trap IP (#1 to #3): Enter the IP addresses to which the traps will be delivered; up to three different SNMP
clients are allowed.
• Trap Community String: Enter either public or private for the trap community string.
• Notify Interval: Enter the interval time for sending the notification SNMP trap message to the trap IP
address.
When finished, click Apply to complete the configurations.
