The AXIS MIB
In order to make full use of the AXIS 5400 SNMP support, you are
required to use NMS software that allows you to install private
enterprise MIBs, like the AXIS MIB.
The AXIS MIB contains a large number of objects which may be
categorized as follows:
• Menu objects - used for viewing and changing the AXIS 5400
configuration from the NMS program. Refer to B - The Parameter
List, on page 139.
• Printer status and unit administration objects - used for
monitoring AXIS 5400 print jobs and storing parameter changes
permanently.
• Trap objects - used for alarms at various error conditions.
For technical details, you can view the MIB file (axis.mib) with any
text editor.
The AXIS MIB is resident on the AXIS 5400 and can be downloaded
directly from the print server to your NMS software using FTP.
Follow these steps to add the AXIS MIB to your NMS software:
1. Log in to the AXIS 5400 using FTP.
2. Download the MIB file /snmp/axis.mib to the NMS host.
3. Install the AXIS MIB according to instructions in your NMS
software documentation.
