The SNMP standard provides a special OID group for custom OIDs. This special
OID group is named ‘enterprises’. The MIB file only contains OIDs within this
group. The MIB file, while legible to humans, is organized for use by a program
and can be difficult to follow by just looking at the contents of the file. This is due
to the fractured format of the information. As in the example, if you want to
determine an OID number series, you look at the OID specification for the entry,
but it only gives you the number of the last digit. To complete the number series,
it would require finding each levels entry and value one at a time in the MIB (or in
the SNMP standard, for OID numbers at the enterprises level or higher).
In addition to the OIDs, there are a couple of parameters that are necessary in
order to successfully communicate with the radio over SNMP. For SNMPv1 there
are community names that are required to access the RLX-IFHxE over
SNMP. For SNMPv3, a username and password are required. See the following
table for this information.

Peer to Peer Networks
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) supports communication (through the Master) between two
or more remote units. Each radio can be configured to send its messages to one
other radio, or to broadcast to all radios in the network.
In the following illustration, the master radio is configured to broadcast to both
radios. Each remote radio is configured to send data back to the master.
