SNMP Community Strings
A community string has attributes for controlling who can use the string
and what the string will allow a network management station to do on the
switch. The AT-S116 Version 1.0.0 Management Software does not
provide any default community strings. You must first define an SNMP
User and Group Name on the SNMP User/Group page and then define a
Community Name on the SNMP Community Table page.

3. Enter a new Community Name.
A name can be up to 31 characters in length.
4. Enter a User Name(View Policy) that has been previously defined.
Note
This name must match one of the User Names displayed on the
SNMP User/Group page. See “Create User and Group Names” on
page 191. If you enter a user name that has not been pre-defined on
the SNMP User/Group page, the Community entry is displayed, but
the agent/manager communication fails.
