SNMP implementation
MIB files
Your meter is compliant with MIB-II as defined by the standard MIB file RFC 1213.
SNMP requires that you load your meter’s ION MIB file (available for download from
www.usa.siemens.com/pds) into the NMS.
You must install RFC 1213, which is required to read basic network information for the
meter (for example, TCP/IP traffic or number of packets received), if it is not included
with your SNMP manager software.
Community strings
A community string is a text string which acts to help authenticate requests from the
NMS to your meter.
There are two community strings on your meter:
• Read Only Community: this community string is used by SNMP get (read-only)
requests. The read only community string’s initial factory-set value is public.
• Read Write Community: this community string is used by SNMP set (read/write)
requests. The read write community string’s initial factory-set value is private.
NOTE: You can also use the read write community string for SNMP get (read-only)
requests.
