Introduction
IntraSpection Personality Modules
A Personality Module is a “plug-in” to the IntraSpection system that
allows for expanded manag ement of an SNMP (Simple Networ k Management Protocol) device by specifically addressing the device’s proprietary information (the “Private MIB”).
Management capabilities are accessed in IntraSpection via the Personality Module’s
AsantéHub 1016-IQ Personality Module
The AsantéHub 1016-IQ Personality Module allows for expanded management of an AsantéHub 1016-IQ Ethernet hub. See Figure 1-1.

Setting Community Strings
Community strings define access rights for reading and writing SNMP
data objects for a device.
The community strings (read and write) for an AsantéHub 1016-IQ are
manually set in the AsantéHub 1016-IQ via its console port.
In order to access the AsantéHub 1016-IQ with IntraSpection, the community strings must be set in IntraSpection to match those set in the
AsantéHub 1016-IQ.
▲ Important: It is recommended that you set the commu-
nity strings for an AsantéHub 1016-IQ in IntraSpection
before you attempt to perform any network management
functions.
This section describes how to set the community strings in IntraSpection to match those set in the AsantéHub 1016-IQ.
To set the community strings for an AsantéHub 1016-IQ in IntraSpection:
1 On the AsantéHub 1016-IQ’s Device Page, click the
map icon on the IntraSpection navigation bar (located
at the bottom of the screen), as shown in Figure 4-1.
