SNMP Feature Overview 
The MeetingPlace SNMP feature supports all the standard “MIB II” queries 
and a set of MeetingPlace MIB traps. The MIB II queries include 
information such as the MeetingPlace server name, location, and contact 
name, plus various statistics regarding the network interface. 
The MeetingPlace MIB traps are generated under the following conditions: 
 
T1 status
If a T1 line goes down 
 
Gateway System Integrity Manager (SIM)
Whenever the Gateway SIM 
registers an alarm 
 
Server startup
Whenever the server restarts or crashes (cold start) 
 
Major hardware alarm
Whenever a major hardware failure occurs 
 
Major software alarm
 Whenever a major software failure occurs 
 
Minor hardware alarm
 Whenever a minor hardware failure occurs 
 
Minor software alarm
 Whenever a minor software failure occurs 
Each major and minor hardware and software notification includes an 
integer alarm code, codes that indicate which software module and server 
reported the alarm. For hardware alarms, four additional codes identify the 
device type, the device address, slot number, and port number. The MIB 
defines these fields. 
A new MIB file, named lattraps.mib (which is in SNMP version 1 format) 
contains all the MIB alarms. It replaces the three current files. You must load 
the new MIB file into your monitoring system and configure it to enable the 
trap messages to display properly. To download lattraps.mib, go to the 
Latitude Customer Support Resource Center (http://support.latitude.com/). 
 
Note: As a rule, each alarm instance generates a separate 
notification. However, in some cases, one specific incident 
could trigger multiple types of alarms.  
For more information about SNMP, see Appendix H. For a list of major and 
minor alarms, go to the Latitude Customer Support Resource Center 
(http://support/latitude.com/), click Diagnostic Knowledge Base, and then

Setting up Contact and Location Information 
With the MeetingPlace SNMP option installed, you can see MeetingPlace 
servers from any SNMP Management station without supplying special 
configuration information. However, to control access to the MeetingPlace 
SNMP module and set up SNMP data exchange, you must supply 
information in the Network Management Information and Network 
Management Communities topics of the Configure tab.
