4.3  GE MIB OBJECTS 

GE provides private MIBs, which enhance the UPS information available over SNMP interface.  
These MIBs are only supported on 3-ph SNMP/Web plug-in adapter. 
 
Two different version of the GE private MIB exist: 

• 

GE Single MIB: to be used for monitoring of a 3-ph UPS is single unit configuration 

• 

GE Parallel MIB: to be used for monitoring of a 3-ph parallel UPS system 

 
The MIB structure is shown in the following picture. The 

geGenericUPS

 group provides information on 

the unit in stand-alone configuration or on the overall system in a parallel configuration. The 

geFirstUPS

 

… 

geEightUPS

 groups provide information on the units that are part of a parallel configuration.
