MIB Structure Reference Manual (MGCP/NCS Version)

Mediatrix 4100

IP Addresses

The MIB structure contains many IP addresses that can be set or viewed. See “Chapter 3 - IP Address and

Network Configuration” on page 41 for more details.

Persistence

A variable may either be persistent or volatile.

Changing a Parameter Value

The Mediatrix 4100 software parameters are fully programmable by using the SNMP protocol. There are two

ways to set up and configure a unit:

 By using a SNMP browser to contact the MIBs of the Mediatrix 4100. It is assumed that you

have basic knowledge of TCP/IP network administration.

You can use the MIB browser built in the Media5’ Unit Manager Network. See “Unit Manager

Network – Element Management System” on page xvii for more details.

You can also use any third-party SNMP browser or network management application running the

SNMP protocol to monitor and configure the Mediatrix 4100. However, the information may not be

presented in the same manner depending on the SNMP browser used.

 By using the graphical user interface of the Management Server.

The Management Server could be Media5’s Unit Manager Network. See “Unit Manager Network –

Element Management System” on page xvii for more details.

Be sure to use the MIB files that match the version of the MIB located inside the current software build of the

unit.

Locate the proper parameter to modify and change (SET) its value. Most of the parameters require to restart

the Mediatrix 4100 unit. A restart may be software-initiated or manually initiated by unplugging the unit. It

deletes all statistics stored and overwrites all volatile parameter values in the configuration file. A restart also

reinitiates the entire unit’s initial provisioning sequence.

Table 16: Storage Clauses

Clause Definition

Persistent Persistent parameters are saved into the unit’s memory and restored when it restarts.

All the variables with the Access = Read Write attribute are persistent, except the

variables representing commands (such as sysAdminCommand).

Volatile Volatile parameters are lost every time the unit restarts. This type of parameter includes

toggling parameters such as requesting a configuration file or a software download.

Statistics are also volatile parameters that are lost every time the unit restarts.

Note: When performing a SET operation on any MIB variable, Media5 recommends to wait at least 30

seconds before shutting down the unit. This gives time to the software to update configuration data in flash

memory.
