2. In the Devices list, double-click the device to select it.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. In the configuration tree, expand Policy Options.
5. Select Community.
6. Add or modify the parameters as specified in Table 1.
7. Click one:
   • OK—To save the changes.
   • Cancel—To cancel the modifications.
   • Apply — To apply the protocol settings.

Note: After you make changes to a device configuration, you must push that updated device configuration to the physical security device for those changes to take effect. You can update multiple devices at one time. See the Updating Devices section in the Network and Security Manager Administration Guide for more information.
