MIB Structure Reference Manual (SIP Version)
Mediatrix 4104 135
IP Addresses
The MIB structure contains many IP addresses that can be set or viewed. See “Chapter 8 - IP Address and
Network Configuration” on page 141 for more details.
Persistence
A variable may either be persistent or volatile.
Changing a Parameter Value
The Mediatrix 4104 software parameters are fully programmable by using the SNMP protocol. There are two
ways to set up and configure a unit:

By using a SNMP browser to contact the MIBs of the Mediatrix 4104. It is assumed that you
have basic knowledge of TCP/IP network administration.
You can use the MIB browser built in the Media5’ Unit Manager Network. See “Unit Manager
Network – Element Management System” on page xxii for more details.
You can also use any third-party SNMP browser or network management application running the
SNMP protocol to monitor and configure the Mediatrix 4104. However, the information may not be
presented in the same manner depending on the SNMP browser used.

By using the graphical user interface of the Management Server.
The Management Server could be Media5’s Unit Manager Network. See “Unit Manager Network –
Element Management System” on page xxii for more details.
Be sure to use the MIB files that match the version of the MIB located inside the current software build of the
unit.
Locate the proper parameter to modify and change (SET) its value. Most of the parameters require to restart
the Mediatrix 4104 unit. A restart may be software-initiated or manually initiated by unplugging the unit. It
deletes all statistics stored and overwrites all volatile parameter values in the configuration file. A restart also
reinitiates the entire unit’s initial provisioning sequence.
Table 68: Storage Clauses
Clause Definition
Persistent Persistent parameters are saved into the unit’s memory and restored when it restarts.
All the variables with the Access = Read Write attribute are persistent, except the
variables representing commands (such as sysAdminCommand ).
Volatile Volatile parameters are lost every time the unit restarts. This type of parameter includes
toggling parameters such as requesting a configuration file or a software download.
Statistics are also volatile parameters that are lost every time the unit restarts.
Note:
When performing a SET operation on any MIB variable, Media5 recommends to wait at least 30
seconds before shutting down the unit. This gives time to the software to update configuration data in flash
memory.
