The AXIS MIB
In order to make full use of the AXIS 540/640 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 540/640
configuration from the NMS program. Refer to B - The Parameter
List, on page 150.
•
Printer status and unit administration objects - used for
monitoring AXIS 540/640 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 540/640 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 540/640 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.
