Three elements are required to use SNMP: agent software, management software and a MIB file. SNMP agent 
software is contained in every AWE unit. Agent software enables a unit to interpret SNMP (Simple Network 
Management Protocol) MIB (Management Information Block) commands. 

SNMP management software is installed on a networked PC or workstation and enables a network 
administrator to remotely manage AWE units. If you have SNMP manager software installed on a networked 
PC or workstation, you can configure, monitor and control AWE units via the Ethernet or air. SNMP network 
management software is available commercially and as shareware (for example, you can download a free 
evaluation copy from www.mg-soft.com). 

MIB is simply a list of objects that SNMP can monitor. You can download a proprietary Wi-LAN MIB file from 
www.wi-lan.com or obtain a copy through the Wi-LAN Technical Assistance Center. The AWE 120-24 is MIB 
version 2 compliant. After you download the MIB file, you must compile the file with the SNMP management 
software compiler.

Manager

Software installed on the network’s host computer and 
operated by the network administrator. From the host, the 
Manager configures Agents or polls Agents for information

Agent

Software that runs on each unit. An Agent accepts 
configuration commands from the Manager and collects 
network and terminal information specified in the MIB

Management Information Block (MIB)

A database that is accessed by a specific set of commands 
and executed using the SNMP manager. There is a standard 
MIB and a Wi-LAN customized MIB that stores information 
relevant to the operation of a wireless network
