RFI SNMP Proxy is an SNMP agent which allows configuration and diagnostics via SNMP. RFI SNMP Proxy
can be installed on a Windows or Debian Linux system, including embedded devices capable of running Linux.
In smaller networks, RFI SNMP Proxy may be run on the same machine as an SNMP network monitoring
application. SNMP communication may be done via IP loopback as shown in Figure 6. Alternatively, RFI
SNMP Proxy may run on existing embedded devices connected to the transmitter by Ethernet, as shown in
Figure 7.

SNMP versions 1 and 2c are supported. The community string ‘public’ should be used when issuing SNMP
requests. RFI SNMP Proxy is compatible with standard SNMP managers and other SNMP client applications.
An SMI MIB file defining OIDs for this product is available from STI Engineering.
RFI SNMP Proxy communicates with the paging transmitter via a proprietary protocol using UDP port 64252
through the Ethernet interface.
Not all configuration and diagnostic parameters may be accessed via SNMP. See Appendix C.2 for a list of
values which may be accessed via SNMP.
