I don't know the command snmpset, but the 'n' in your call should probably be n (without quotes). Also the '-c arct1c' should be split in '-c', 'arct1c'.

Do you actually mean n (wihtout '') or str(n) in your code?

Did you try

for n in range(1,16):
    subprocess.call(
        'snmpset -v2c -c arct1c 192.168.5.157 .1.3.6.1.4.1.18489.1.2.1.5.1.2.0 i %d' % n,
        shell = True)

?
