SNMP Manager and MIB
To access Insight point information via SNMP, a computer must have an SNMP manager and a
Management Information Base (MIB) file. The SNMP manager uses an MIB to interpret the information
received from the OPC/SNMP Agent.
An MIB file contains group, variable, and trap information that correlates to Insight point definitions and
alarm settings. With this information and an SNMP manager, you can monitor point values, command
point values, and acknowledge alarms.
The Integrated Systems department does not currently support an SNMP manager. Technical
assistance, however, may be available on a case-by-case basis. For more information, contact the
Integrated Systems department.
