SNMPv1/v2 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-S107 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.

and Group Names” on page 267. If you enter a user name that has
not been pre-defined on the SNMP User/Group page, the
