142 USING THE M208’S ADDITIONAL OPTIONS: Managing With SNMP
The M208’s custom MIB definition file is included on the host software disk in a file
called mplxmib.txt. This file can also be downloaded from the Microplex FTP site
(ftp.microplex.com: support/m208/misc/mplxmib.txt) or can be accessed via the
Microplex Web site (http://www.microplex.com/).
Custom MIB Variables
The variables found within the custom MIB definition file describe every type of inter-
nal information that can be accessed on the M208 by an SNMP manager. These vari-
ables can be divided into two groups: system variables and product variables.
System Variables
The first grouping of variables contains general information about the M208 such as
firmware version, serial number, etc. In addition to these, it includes a trap table which
defines what SNMP managers will receive the traps generated by the M208. The trap
table can have up to ten entries, but only the first entry is saved to EEPROM.
Product Variables
The second grouping of variables contains information defining all of the remaining
functionality of the M208. The product variables are divided into:
config group All configuration components such as models,
destinations, logpaths, and users.
status group All dynamic monitoring components such as
print queues, user logins, and RPRINTER con-
figurations.
command group This includes the commands save, load, and
reset.
These variables can have read, write, or read-
write permissions. Along with these permissions
there are other elements that can limit the write
access to these variables. Please see SNMP Secu-
rity on page 144 and User Accounts and Permis-
sions on page 94 for more information.
Print Server Traps
A trap is an event generated by an agent to indicate a significant event to the manager.
The M208 generates three traps regarding the print server component:
