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 Polycom HDX web interface.
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 Polycom HDX web interface.
3. Go to Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP.
4. Click Download MIB and follow the onscreen instructions.
Configuring for SNMP Management
To configure the Polycom HDX system for SNMP Management:
1. Access the SNMP configuration screen either in Polycom HDX web
interface or on the Polycom HDX system. In Polycom HDX web interface
go to Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP. On the Polycom HDX
system go to System > Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP.
2. Configure these settings on the SNMP screen:
