In all cases there is no automatic way for you to learn the modem's MAC address; it must be entered. The modem's MAC address is unlike the computer's MAC address, which you could learn by having subscribers run the ipconfig command on their PC and read back the MAC address).

Editing Global Settings

When you click Edit Global Settings on the Manage Defaults page, User Registrar displays the Edit Global Settings page (Figure 3-32). This page allows you to specify the User Registrar defaults for the SNMP community string, the name of the unprovisioned service, and the default locale.

• The SNMP community strings (read and write) are clear-text strings in SNMP packets that serves as simple passwords. The community strings help control which SNMP managers (for example, servers that want to reset cable modems) have read-only, read-write, or no access to the SNMP agent in devices (for example, DOCSIS cable modems). This mechanism provides some minimal protection to prevent a neighbor from resetting a subscriber's cable modem.

Both Modem Registrar and User Registrar need to know the modem's community strings. Because User Registrar acts as an SNMP manager when it attempts to reset a modem through SNMP, it needs to know what community strings to use. For more information about SNMP, see "SNMP MIB."

• The unprovisioned service is the type of service subscribers' modems receive before they are provisioned. This service allows subscribers to connect to User Registrar and provision themselves.

• User Registrar uses the Default Locale when the site has more than one locale, but none has been specified for the subscriber nor is there an entry in the lLocaleLookup class.

For more information about the lLocaleLookup class, see the "Locale Lookup" section.
