designated Managers. The Manager can be a Cajun M770 Management station or
any other SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management console.
Note: It is recommended to keep the list li mited to actual and rel evant managers so
as not to place undue stress on the network.
Note: Refer to the Cajun M770 Installation Guide for an out-of-band method for
editing a device's Manager list.
