5.6.5 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) System
Monitor
Description
It
is possible for a PC assigned as an SNMP manager to manage and receive PBX system status information,
such as alarm information and general system activity using SNMP. Management Information Bases (MIBs)
are sent to a PC (i.e., the SNMP manager) connected to the PBX over a LAN and can then be stored and
analysed using SNMP manager software.
The two features for managing information using SNMP are as follows:
– Polling:
A bilateral transaction of information. Polling allows the manager to request information from the PBX.
