● Details of jitter, latency, and packet loss
● Low battery power is detected in the remote control
● A system powers on
● Administrator logon is successful or unsuccessful
● A call fails for a reason other than a busy line
● A user requests help
● A telephone or video call connects or disconnects
SNMP features specific to version 3 include the following:
● Allows for secured connectivity between the console and the SNMP agent
● Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks
● Logs all configuration change events
● Supports a user-based security model
● Supports trap destination addresses
Downloading MIBs

readable text descriptions for those traps, you need to install Polycom MIBs (Management Information 
Base) on the computer you intend to use as your network management station. The MIBs are available for 
download from the Polycom RealPresence Group system web interface.
To download a Polycom MIB using the Polycom RealPresence Group system web
