Avaya Video Conferencing Manager Deployment Guide 31
By default, Avaya Video Conferencing Manager uses SNMP to show detailed information
about a discovered device, such as its make, model, and software version. The community
string is a password used to access the device when you are sending SNMP traps. If the
community string is correct, the device responds with the requested information. If the
community string is incorrect, the device simply discards the request and does not respond.
The default value of the community string is public. To change the default value, follow
these steps:
1. Click the Password icon on the navigation bar.
2. In the section that pertains to the SNMP version that you use on your network, select the
make of the third party device.
3. Enter a value for Community String for SNMP v1 or v2, or enter a Username for
SNMP v3 or other protocols.
4. Click Add.
Discovering Devices
After you configure default passwords for device management, follow these steps to
discover and begin managing devices in Avaya Video Conferencing Manager:
1. Access Avaya Video Conferencing Manager.
2. In the navigation bar, click the Devices icon.
3. Click Discover devices on the Actions list and then click Submit.
4. Discover a single device or discover devices in a range of IP addresses.
- To discover a single device, choose Single IP in the Search By list. Enter the IP
address in the IP Address box.
- To discover devices in a range of IP addresses, choose IP Range in the Search By
list. Enter the IP address range in the From and To boxes.
Note: When entering a large range of IP addresses, a delay may occur due to network
latency. However, you can continue to interact with the Avaya Video Conferencing
Manager interface during this process. For best results, limit your range of addresses to
a maximum of 255.
