A MIB file is a small text file required by the SNMP Manager.
Using the Web interface SNMP menu, click: Download MIB to
save this file in the usual Windows manner. The MIB file is
in plain text with a .mib extention that may be read with
Windows Notepad.

Network Status

ulars of the network connection. This screen is useful for
troubleshooting or for verifying connection parameters.

Alarm Notifications

The audio-loss alarm setup description begins on Page 10.
Page 12 details rear-panel alarm 'tallies.'
You must first program the NOVIA 262 to send mail under
the Setup/Email Preferences menu. You need to set up an ac-
tual SMTP email account, following guidelines set by the
mail provider you choose.
NOTE: As of initial product release, some email servers may
not support SMTP mail dispatch from the NOVIA 262. This
situation is in a state of flux at present. The TLS1.2 stand-
ard is supported, STARTTLS is not. A simple and free Gmail
account would be a good choice if your in-house mail sys-
tem fails to send mail due to this issue.
Under SMTP Server, enter the provided outgoing mail SMTP
Server info (e.g. smtp.gmail.com), the specified Port: number
and whether or not to

Under Sender, From: is the 'friendly' name that will identify
the NOVIA 262 to the email or SMS/text recipient. User: is
the full email address of the unit, and Pass: is the password
you've assigned to the account.

The Alarm Log

Under Setup/Alarm Log Settings you'll find a Status: notation of
how close the log is to its maximum capacity, about 2000
events. Enter the Email When: box and set a number for an
alert. A setting of 10% equates to about 200 log entries.
The Alarm Log continues to accumulate entries, but you
may manually clear it at any time. Under Alarm Log Settings,
go to Clear Log at the bottom of the screen. Bracket and se-
lect the box, and when prompted push the knob again to
delete all alarm history. The NOVIA 262 Web interface pro-
vides means of downloading the alarm log for study and
analysis if desired.

Backup: The Hardware Profile

The entire NOVIA 262 setup, which includes input source
choices, factory and user processing presets, alarm notifica-
tion preferences and SNMP options... all may be saved to
your computer as a small text file. A Hardware Profile is
useful for restoring a previous processor setup or for 'clon-
ing' a second unit for backup service.
On the Admin Webpage, click: Download Hardware Profile to
save the profile to your system.
Your browser and version of Windows may ask whether to
Open or Save the file. Click the Save button and the file will
be saved to a Downloads folder, and from there may be
moved to a convenient location. Other browsers may ask
you directly to specify a 'Save as:' location. The file carries
a default name of 262settings.ini.
Upload a Hardware Profile backup file to the NOVIA 262 by
clicking Select Hardware Profile....
where you saved the file and double-click it. The filename,
File: 262settings.ini, should replace Select Hardware Profile...
on your screen. At that point, simply click Upload Hardware
Profile.

Uploading a Hardware Profile reboots the NOVIA
262. After the reboot, an information screen pops up to
