Downloading MIBs
In order to allow your SNMP management console application to resolve
SNMP traps and display human-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 system’s web interface.
To download the Polycom MIBs:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the IP address of the system, for
example,
http://10.11.12.13
, to go to the system’s web interface.
3. Go to Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP.
4. Click Download MIB and follow the onscreen instructions.
