Display/Modify Communities

View devices that have permission to access the Web card, identified by IP address or hostname, read/ write permission and community string. Up to 20 devices may be configured for access.

Each device is identified by:

• Entry Number - use the entry number (1-20) to edit or delete an entry

• IP address or Hostname - the address of the device with access (MultiLink server, Nform server, Network Management System)

• Access (read/write) - read allows users to view but not change data; write allows full permission for configuration, control and viewing

• Community string - the community string used by the IP host for this Entry Number (case-sensitive, up to 32 characters)
