Passwords

The Passwords option configures your Web UI account access password for your Router. Access to the device is limited to the

following three user accounts:



admin is to be used for local unrestricted access control



support is to be used for remote maintenance of the device



user is to be used to view information and update device firmware

Use the fields illustrated in the screen below to change or create your password. Passwords must be 16 characters or less with no

spaces. Click Apply/Save to continue.

SNMP

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows a network administrator to monitor a network by retrieving settings on

remote network devices. To do this, the administrator typically runs an SNMP management station program such as MIB browser

on a local host to obtain information from the SNMP agent, in this case the 3G42WT (if SNMP is enabled). An SNMP ‘community’

performs the function of authenticating SNMP traffic. A ‘community name’ acts as a password that is typically shared among SNMP

agents and managers.
