Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
There are only three commands to set for SNMP in the PinPoint-E: the listening port, the security
level, and the trap destination.
Listening Port
*SNMPPORT sets the port for the SNMP agent to listen on. If set to zero, default, SNMP is dis-
abled.

Security Level
*SNMPSECLVL sets the security level and which version of SNMP communications are used.
FIGURE 2. Wireless Ace: *SNMPSECLVL
0 - No security required. SNMPv2c and SMNPv3 communications are allowed.
1 - Authentication required. SNMPv3 is required to do authentication and SNMPv2c transmis-
sions will be silently discarded. Authentication is equivalent to the authNoPriv setting in
SNMPv3.
2 - Authentication required and messages are encrypted. SNMPv3 is required to do authentica-
tion. SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 authNoPriv transmissions will be silently discarded. Authentica-
tion and encryption is equivalent to the authPriv setting in SNMPv3.
User Name and Password
The user name is 'user'. The user name cannot be changed. The PinPoint-E's password is used as
the SNMP password (default is '12345').
To change the password in the PinPoint-E, select Modem from the top menu line in Wireless Ace.
Note: SNMP generally uses port 161, however most Internet providers (including
cellular) block all ports below 1024 as a security measure. You should be able to
use a higher numbered port such as 10161.
Note: The eight-character password requirement for SMNPv3 is not enforced by
the PinPoint-E's Agent to allow the default password to function. Your SNMP
administrator or MIS may require you to change to a more secure and/or longer
password.
