The SNMP Plug-in has an emergency mode called "Standalone Mode", which allows a direct, local access to the plug-in's management web interface in the unlikely event of AVM EX failing.
Note
To enable Standalone Mode, you have to create a public key during the installation process.
Note
When Standalone Mode is enabled, you can make settings for menus displayed with administrator privileges without entering a password. We recommend only enabling Standalone Mode in an emergency.

Enable Standalone Mode

  1. Log on to your server (a remote system) as a user with Administrator rights.
  2. Open [AVM EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange folder with Windows Explorer and create a copy of a public key file.
    Note
    If you select "Yes, create a public key" during the installation process, "public-key.pem" was created in the following folder:

    C:\Users\ [USERNAME] \Documents\Allied Telesis\AT-Vista Manager EX\certs\public-key.pem

    This public key file allows you to access all the functionality of the AWC Plug-in and SNMP Plug-in without entering an administrator password. Take extreme care to store the public key file securely by setting appropriate access permissions.
  3. Open a command prompt window as an administrator.
  4. Run the following command on the command prompt window.
    cd [AVM EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange
.\modechange standalone [AVM EX Installation Directory]\Plugins\AT-SNMP\NetManager\tools\modechange\public-key.pem
Standalone Mode has been enabled.
