Password

On the Password screen, you can change the Gateway's password, configure

SNMP settings, and restore the Gateway's factory default settings.

• Router Password It is strongly recommended that you set a password for

the Gateway. The default password is admin. If you don't change the pass-

word, all users on your network will be able to access the Gateway using the

default password admin. Re-enter the new password in the second field.

• SNMP Get Community Set the read-only community string for SNMP. It

is strongly recommended to change this field to a name that cannot be eas-

ily guessed. The default string is public.

• SNMP Set Community Set the read/write community string for SNMP. It

is strongly recommended to change this field to a name that cannot be eas-

ily guessed. The default string is private.

• SNMP Trusted Host If you enter a trusted host address here, the Gateway

will only respond to SNMP messages from this IP address. If you leave the

field blank (which is the default), the Gateway will respond to all SNMP

messages it receives, regardless of source.
