2.1 SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an internet standard protocol for managing devices
on IP networks. It is used to monitor network-attached devices for conditions that warrant
administrative attention.
An administrative computer (SNMP manager) monitors a group of DSE controllers using a variety of
connection methods (detailed elsewhere in this manual). Should an ‘event’ occur, the DSE892
Gateway reports information via SNMP to the manager.
Many third party SNMP managers exist. DSE do not produce or supply SNMP managers.
2.2 MIB FILE
SNMP does not specify the type of information and functions supported by the managed device. This
information is contained in the Management Information Base (MIB) file provided with the managed
device.
As the DSE892 has flexible configuration, and therefore many alternatives of available information,
the MIB file is created by the DSE892 Gateway when configuration is completed. This is covered
elsewhere in this manual.
