Section 9: Management & Configuration AXIS 5600 User’s Manual 124
The AXIS MIB In order to make full use of the AXIS 5600 SNMP support, you are
required to use NMS software that allows you to install private
enterprise MIBs, like the AXIS MIB.
The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
• Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the AXIS 5600
configuration from the NMS program. Refer to B - The Parameter
List, on page 143.
• Printer status and unit administration objects - used for
monitoring AXIS 5600 print jobs and storing parameter changes
permanently.
• Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (axis.mib) with any
text editor.
The AXIS MIB is resident on the AXIS 5600 and can be downloaded
directly from the print server to your NMS software using FTP.
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5600 using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS
software documentation.
