MIB Variables

SNMP V2 MIB variables with definitions are listed in the “EncoderTraps_v2.mib” file or a similar *.mib file located on the MIP server in the “Program Files\Volicon\docs” directory. The MIB file should be used in addition to the “MIB Variables table” below.

The MIP can send SNMP V2 trap messages both for media related alerts that create fault clips and for system critical events that do not generate clips.
