4.4.1 SNMP Agent settings
This configuration page opens when you click the SNMP button on the Radio
Configuration form.
SNMP is a network management protocol that is often used with TCP/IP and
Ethernet. As an alternative to using the Radio Configuration / Diagnostic Utility,
you can change radio settings and view diagnostics in an SNMP manager
application, if necessary.

The RLX-IH SNMP agent supports SNMP protocol version 1.4 and 2 MIBs:
RFC12133-MIB (partial; internet.mgmt.MIB-2.system, .interfaces, .snmp)
ROMAP-MIB (included on the CD; internet.private.enterprises.romap)
It also supports a selection of standard SNMP traps, including Cold Start, which
is sent when the radio initializes.
