I am trying to set up a non-TM trap receiver and the only way I can receive traps is to be set to "public".

when I change what I thought was the community string for traps from "public" to "test1" it still only leaves the CS1000s Call server as "public" according to sniffer trace and trap receiver.

LD 117
prt admin_comm 1 - - - was "public"
chg admin_comm 1 test1
prt admin_comm 1 - - - now says "test1"
-showed my changes-

I even INI'd this test sytem but when I create a trap using :
LD 117
test alarm elan 0023
the alarm arrives at the non-OTM trap receiver with a community string of public. This was again verified with a sniffer.
 
well I don't know if there's a workaround available in the 4.5 I am using but according to Succession SNMP 5.0 docs, it is available. the command is :

LD 117
chg sysmgmt_trap_comm

In <5.0
all that is available is
chg sysmgmt_RD_comm
or
chg sysmgmt_WR_comm
