IP Office MIBs

Although MIB (Management Information Base) files are not required for AlarmTraq to operate, MIBs allow AlarmTraq to access management data from supported systems using SNMP.

All MIB files that need to be loaded at startup should reside in the "AlarmTraq\MIB\" directory, and the "MIB_Order.txt" file should contain the file names in the order they should be loaded.

Sample MIB_Order.txt file

To Verify the proper operation and loading of the MIBs, a separate program names MIBListView.exe located in the \AlarmTraq directory will show all the variables assigned by the MIBs.

Run "C:\Program Files\AlarmTraq\MIBListView.exe"

Sample MIBListView

The left column shows the list of variables loaded by the MIBs. The main window shows the Oid (Object Identifier) and description of the variable.

To find the variable name from an Oid, click "Action>Convert Oid To Name" (see below).

To find the OID from a variable name, click "Action>Convert Name To Oid" (see below).
