MIBs (Management Information Base)
MIBs are a collection of definitions, which define the properties of the managed object within the device to 
be managed. Every managed device keeps a database of values for each of the definitions written in the 
MIB.
The SNMP systems poll the MCU according to the MIB definitions.
Traps
The MCU is able to send Traps to different managers. Traps are messages that are sent by the MCU to the 
SNMP Manager when an event such as MCU Reset occurs.
Guidelines
● Version 1, Version 2 and Version 3 traps are supported. 
● When SNMPv3 is selected only SNMPv3 Queries and Traps receive responses.
● A mixture of Version 1, Version 2 and Version 3 traps is not permitted.
● In Ultra Secure Mode:
Version 3 is the default for both SNMP Agent Version and SNMP Trap Version.
The default Authentication Protocol is SHA 
The default Privacy Protocol is AES.
MIB Files
The H.341 standard defines the MIBs that H.320 and H.323 MCUs must comply with. In addition, other MIBs 
should also be supported, such as MIB-II and the ENTITY MIB, which are common to all network entities.
The MIBs are contained in files in the SNMP MIBS sub-directory of the Collaboration Server root directory. 
The files should be loaded to the SNMP external system and compiled within that application. Only then can 
the SNMP external application perform the required monitoring tasks.
Private MIBs
● RMX-MIB (RMX-MIB.MIB)
Contains the statuses of the Collaboration Server: Startup, Normal and Major.
Contains all the Alarms of the Collaboration Server that are sent to the SNMP Manager.
The MULTI-MEDIA_MIB_TC must be compiled before compiling the other MIBs.
