chapter 4: Snmp

(siMple neTwork ManaGeMenT proToCol)

The IMS-4000 Host contains an SNMP agent that supports all three current versions of SNMP (v1, V2c, and V3), over both

UDP and TCP transports. Read and write access to most of the IMS-4000 parameters is provided along with the ability to

send traps when alarms occur. A complete SNMPv1 MIB is provided on the IMS-4000 CD.
The SNMP agent can be enabled or disabled from the local configuration options while directly connected to the IMS-4000

via RS-232. The SNMP community strings are also configured through the local configuration. See Chapter 1 for details.
Through the SNMP protocol, most of the programming parameters and status information can be accessed. The following

is a summary of the IMS-4000 items that can be fully accessed through SNMP:

• Edit Environmental input programming
• Edit IP Alarm programming
• Edit System programming (unit info, e-mail setup, Web FTP setup, phone settings)
• Enable/Disable Datalogging
• Edit the Datalog interval
• Edit/add Classes
• Edit Environmental input template programming
• Edit Camera setup
• Edit PowerGate programming and switch outlets
• Acknowledge alarms
• View Network and Security configuration parameters
• View system diagnostic information

Some parameters of the IMS-4000 involve complex data structures and cannot be accessed through the SNMP protocol. The

following operations cannot be performed through SNMP:

• Add or delete IP alarms
• Add or delete Profiles or Contacts
• Delete a sensor
• Delete a Node
• Delete a PowerGate device
• Configure the system clock
• Modify time schedules
• Edit alarm response programming sequences
• Modify classes on Environmental Inputs, IP Alarms, or Profiles

The various values that can be retrieved from an MIB are called MIB variables. Each MIB variable is named by

an Object Identifier (OID), which usually has a name in the form of numbers separated by periods (“.”), like this:

.1.3.6.1.x.x.xxxx.x.x.x.x... OIDs for all MIB variables can be determined by browsing the MIB.
Below are some examples of the more common OIDs in the IMS-4000:
Name: .iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.sensaphone
Sensaphone OID: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8338

Host Environmental Input Values: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8338.1.1.1.1.8.1.1.7.(input number)
Example: host environmental input #3: .1.3.6.1.4.1.8338.1.1.1.1.8.1.1.7.3
