view it with any word processor or text editor.

It is used to authenticate messages that are sent between the
management station and the NAS. The community string is
included in every packet that is transmitted between the SNMP
manager and the SNMP agent.

The NAS supports SNMP version 3. You can specify the
authentication and privacy settings if available.
