Configuring Your Network Management System

In order to access the USRobotics proprietary MIBs, you need to import the MIBs into your network
management system. You can find the MIB files in the Mib folder on the USRobotics CD-ROM. Refer to
your network management system for instructions on importing and compiling MIBs.

Rebooting and Upgrading Your Access Point Using SNMP

In addition to the reboot and upgrade functions built into the Professional Access Points Web User
Interface, you have the option of performing these functions through SNMP.

Source (hostname or subnet)

If source designation is enabled, enter the IP address of the host or subnet that
is allowed to issue SNMP requests to the access point.

If you use this option, the Professional Access Point honours requests from the
specified host or subnet only.

If you also enable a read-write community, the specified source must be a
member of that community in order for the access point to honour the source’s
requests.

Note: Even if you explicitly name a machine or a subnet in this field, any
machine issuing a request must also know the proper community name in
order to have the request honoured.
