• rfc1643.mib

Proxim provides these MIB files on the CD included with your unit. You must compile one or more of these MIB files into

your SNMP program’s database before you can manage your unit using SNMP. See the documentation that came with

your SNMP manager for instructions about how to compile MIBs.

NOTE: When you update the software in the unit, you must also update the MIBs to the same release. Because the

parameters in the MIB may have changed, you will not otherwise have full control over the features in the new

release.

The enterprise MIB (orinoco.mib) defines the read and read/write objects you can view or configure using SNMP. These

objects correspond to most of the settings and statistics that are available with the other management interfaces. See the

enterprise MIB for more information; the MIB can be opened with any text editor, such as Microsoft Word, Notepad, and

WordPad. See SNMP Parameters.

IMPORTANT!

Using a serial connection, you can access the unit through a terminal emulation program such as

HyperTerminal. (See “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in the Tsunami MP.11 Reference Manual.)

For all other modes of connection, you will need the IP address of the unit in order to use the Web Interface,

SNMP, or the CLI. See Setting the IP Address with ScanTool for more information.
