Importing a new MIB into the Management application

The SNMP traps that the Management application receives must be registered in the Management
application in order for these traps to be available. To register a trap, you must first identify the MIB
file that contains the trap information in the mibs_to_compile.txt file. Then, you must register the
traps using the Event Reception dialog box.
