asked, “Are you sure you want to delete all future strings?” Press Y to

proceed, N to abort. Press Enter.

NOTE: The above function will delete ALL community strings. If

you want to be able to selectively delete community strings, use

HUBCTRL32 to configure your device.

Sending Traps
Traps are sent by the manageable device to a management PC when a

certain event takes place.

To enter a trap destination, press T. You will then be asked to “Enter a

New IP Address.” Type the IP address of the destination device and press

Enter. Then type the name of the community string (created earlier) and

press Enter. Type “Reboot” for changes to take effect.

NOTE: The method above enables ALL of the traps the device is

capable of. If you want to be able to selectively activate and de-

activate traps, use HUBCTRL32 to configure your device.

To remove all trap destinations, press K. You will then be asked if you

really want to remove all trap destinations. Press Y to continue. Press N to

abort. Press Enter.

Password Protection
You can password protect the serial configuration process by pressing P

from the main configuration screen. You will be asked to enter a password.

(NOTE: Passwords are case sensitive.) Enter your password (spaces are NOT

allowed) and press Enter. You will then be asked for your password

whenever you log on or off.

To remove password protection, select P and instead of entering a

password, press Enter.

Should you forget the password, use HUBCTRL32 to access the back-up

copy of the PROM, then reburn the flash PROM.
