Agent supports both SNMPv1 and SNMPv2.

The user-supplied Network Management System (NMS). This software
runs on the User PC.

Management Information Base (MIB) Files
An MIB file is used for SNMP remote management of a unique device, and
consist of a tree of nodes called Object Identifiers (OIDs). Each OID provides
remote management of a particular function. These MIB files should be compiled
in a user-supplied MIB Browser or SNMP Network Monitoring System server. In
these unit MIB file names, the letter ‘x’ represents the revision of the file.
