A user account with at least administration privileges within the remote management controller must be specified.
The user name can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters and symbols (ASCII characters 0x20 to 0x7e).
If a user account with a name of 17 or more characters has already been set up, either create a new user account or rename it with a name of up to 16 characters.

The user password can contain up to 16 alphanumeric characters and symbols (ASCII characters 0x20 to 0x7e).

The destination for SNMP traps sent by the remote management controller should be set as the admin server's IP address.

Name of the SNMP community used to communicate with the management software (ServerView Agent) on the managed server.
This community name can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters, underscores ("_"), and hyphens ("-").
