6.2 The Alpha MIB

Measurements and settings for the power supply, generator, batteries, and XP-DSM

are accessed using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) through the Alpha

Management Information Base (MIB). The Alpha MIB is defined through the SNMP

MIB file ATI-TABLES-MGMT-MIB.mib, which can be obtained from the

www.Alpha.

com>Broadband>Status Monitoring>DSM>XP-DSM Tech. Support

page. Many MIB browsers

such as MG-Soft (

www.mg-soft.com

) require this MIB to be compiled into the browser in order

for the branches and parameters to be ordered and displayed properly. Refer to your MIB

browser’s documentation for instructions on compiling MIB files.
The Alpha MIB is defined within the enterprise branch of the MIB tree starting at

1.3.6.1.4.1.926, and is organized into three branches:
Alpha CIB Tables
All of the power supply, generator, battery, and most of the XP-DSM data and settings are

located in the CIB Tables. These tables are sorted into four categories: Analogs, Counters,

Discretes, and Text.

Analogs: voltages, currents, frequency, temperatures.
Counters: XM2 self-test schedule, communications and configuration settings.
Discretes: XM2 major alarms, single/dual IP, tamper polarity, SNMP communications,

SNMP traps, Web server.

Text:

XP-DSM communications settings, IP addresses, DHCP server, XP-DSM

firmware version, static/dynamic IP address, DSM Setup File.

Alpha Management
Advanced DSM settings are located in the Alpha Management branch and are split between

SNMP and system-related settings.

SNMP Management: SNMP trap tables, Dual IP security, SNMP access, and community

strings.

System Management: firmware download, Web server, SNTP Server location, enclosure

environmental controller.

Alpha Technologies IDs
The Alpha Technologies IDs branch is used by internal DSM processes to identify the model

of the transponder for firmware upgrades and other functions.
