Datalogic MIBs
Beyond the standard values, SNMP allows manufacturers to define their own
private MIBs. For example, Datalogic has been assigned an MIB by the Inter-
net Assigned Numbers Authority that allows Datalogic to define SNMP values
relating specifically to devices that we manufacture. Within the Datalogic
MIB, several categories of values have been defined including scanner Config-
urations, Terminal power Configurations and Terminal network parameters.
The format of an MIB follows rules laid out in the appropriate standards,
allowing the manufacturers of network management tools such as HP Open-
View and CastleRock SNMPc to make use of the MIBs developed by manu-
facturers. So by following the procedures used by the management tool, the
MIB can be processed by the tool allowing the proper display of SNMP values
retrieved from the agent.
For example, if the Datalogic MIB is loaded into OpenView, the administrator
can then view all of the values defined by Datalogic using the names assigned
by Datalogic, as well as a brief explanation of what each value represents. This
will also allow the administrator to update most values, and provides range
checking information for the tool to take advantage of. The current Datalogic
MIB can be found on the Datalogic Mobile website in the Downloads area.
