Configuring SNMP using ION Setup
70
NOTE: You should only configure the variable name and description. Changing other
fields in your MIB file may cause the client software to report problems or return errors
when trying to retrieve or view parameters.
The variable name must conform to the following rules:
• The first character must be a letter.
• The first character must be lower case.
• The name must not contain any special characters such as *, ?, &.
• The name must not contain spaces.
1. Open your meter's MIB file in a text editing program (such as Notepad).
2. Update the variable name and description so they match the meter values
connected to the SNMP Mapping module.
3. Save your meter's MIB file. Make sure you keep the original file extension of .MIB.
This example shows an original and an updated OID entry in an MIB file, where the
default meter value of voltage line-to-neutral phase A is modified in the meter's SNMP
Mapping module and is now connected to voltage line-toneutral phase C.
