In order to add and equipment to the list of units managed by the client, it is necessary to have
access to its “MIB” file (Management Information Base), that describes its SNMP capabilities
(alarms it can generate, accepted commands, manufacturer information, etc.).

The MIB file corresponding to the unit can be downloaded from the Web interface without
installation of any additional software. In order to do so, in the MAINTENANCE section (see

If you follow that link, the text file will appear. Now you just need to right-click on it and select
“Save as…” and browse a suitable destination folder (see the manual of the selected SNMP
client).
