SNMP Setup
This section covers information for installing all support software, accessing and
identifying specific trap information, viewing the “Alarm Log” and walking through the MIB.
Set Up Steps
1. Load a third party-network management software package, such as HP OpenView
®
,
onto the PC used to manage the PBXgateway and Remote units.
2. Install the units’ configuration files, onto the same PC.
3. Add the units’ MIB to the third party-network management software package
database. This will allow the software to access the status and configuration
variables of the PBXgateway and Remote.
4. Set the password (Community String) to allow access to the units.
5. Format the Trap error messages from the PBXgateway and Remote into an easily
read form.
6. Enable SNMP within the MI.
Installing the MIB Files
The MIB files are necessary for the third party software to read the PBXgateway and
Remote status tables, and to receive readable SNMP Trap error messages.
Work with the following files:
mibs\Remotexxxx.mib
(where xxxx refers to the Remote release).
Copy to: c:\ov\mibs
This file is the MIB for control of the Remote, in this case. This file must be compiled into
the third party software package.
Setting the Community Password
The units come with a default SNMP read password also known as a Community String.
This password must be specified inside the third party software to allow the user to view
MIB objects.
Before setting the password, the units must have an IP Address assigned by the network
administrator and must be part of the software “Network View”.
1. Access the “Network View” menu from within the third party software. Click on the
Icon of the device to be configured. Each Icon should be titled with the IP Address for
the device.
2. Type in the password next to Community. Click OK. The default read (community)
password is: “public.” The Set Community password is not and may be ignored.
