1 General Mimer InfoServer is a component in the Mimer family of products for network operated 2-way radios. The InfoServer is used to monitor the system health. Most faults that might occur in a SoftRadio system are indicated in the operator GUI so that the operator can either solve the problem or call for technical help.
Available Information The InfoServer software is designed to collect information about radio units and other devices in a Mimer SoftRadio system and about the operators and the connections they have. The information is displayed on a HTML page by connecting a web-browser to the IP-address of the InfoServer.

HIDDEN devices. These are the devices that are active at the operator but are hidden on a non-selected tab. DISCONNECTED devices. These are the devices that are listed in the Connections Setup, but the connection currently fails. Mimer InfoServer 3132-02-81 F Page 6...
IP address and Name of the InfoServer and authentication and IP settings for the SNMP notifications that are defined in the MIMER- INFOSERVER-MIB. All further described below. Note: authentication and user settings for SNMP requests and notifications for system events are not set in the web-interface.
Device ID This is the ID number used in the Mimer SoftRadio system for the device. In Mimer SoftRadio every device and every operator need to have a unique ID number between 10-240. It is common practice for the SoftRadio clients to have numbers from 10-99 and all other devices numbers from 100-240.

The static IP address of the InfoServer. You can change this to any address that suits your net. If you change the subnet part (often the three first groups) you must remember to also change the Mimer Network Interfaces accordingly.
Typically only one ethernet port (eth0) is used on the server. However, if using both ethernet ports, only one of them shall have a gateway assigned (when it is set to DHCP it gets a gateway automatically). Leave the Gateway field of the other ethernet port blank. Mimer InfoServer 3132-02-81 F Page 11...
The server has a built-in log function that can show eventual errors, for use when troubleshooting. This can be useful when setting up a system or when fault finding a system. InfoServer log window Mimer InfoServer 3132-02-81 F Page 12...

The configuration files have the following Mimer InfoServer-specific modifications, that must be preserved: 1. In the file /etc/snmp/snmp.conf (obs, not snmpd.conf) there is an “include” of the MIB file /etc/mimer/MIMER-INFOSERVER-MIB.mib in order to parse our own MIB. Do not change this! 2.
The operator PC needs to be set up so that it reports its connections etc to the InfoServer. This is done in two steps. Installing the option After setting up SoftRadio XL, also install the option “Mimer User Status Reports”. Note. The option only works with the XL-version of SoftRadio.
10 Settings in Mimer VoiceLog If you have a VoiceLog in the system and it shall be monitored by the InfoServer, there is a tick box that needs to be checked in the VoiceLog settings. See the VoiceLog manual for details.
