Setting Up SNMP
The VSX system sends SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) reports
to indicate conditions, including the following:
• All alert conditions found on the VSX system alert page
• Details of jitter, latency, and packet loss
• Low battery power is detected in the remote control
• A system powers on or resets
• Administrator logon is successful or unsuccessful
• A call fails for a reason other than a busy line
• A user requests help
• A telephone or video call connects or disconnects
VSX systems are compatible with SNMP version 1.
Downloading MIBs
In order to allow your SNMP management console application to resolve
SNMP traps and display human readable text descriptions for those traps, you
need to install Polycom MIBs (Management Information Base) on the
computer you intend to use as your network management station.
The MIBs are available for download from VSX Web.
To download the Polycom MIBs:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the IP address of the system, for
example, http://10.11.12.13 , to go to VSX Web.
3. Go to Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP.
4. Click Download MIB and follow the onscreen instructions.
