The AXIS MIB
In order to make full use of the AXIS 5600+ SNMP support, you are
required to use NMS software that allows you to install private
enterprise MIBs, like the AXIS MIB.
The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
•
Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the AXIS 5600+
configuration from the NMS program. Refer to
13 - The
Parameter List
, on page 146.
•
Printer status and unit administration objects - used for
monitoring AXIS 5600+ print jobs and storing parameter changes
permanently.
•
Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (
axis.mib
) with any
text editor.
The AXIS MIB is resident on the AXIS 5600+ and can be downloaded
directly from the print server to your NMS software using FTP.
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5600+ using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file
/snmp/axis.mib
to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS
software documentation.
