Setting Up SNMP

Downloading MIBs

The V500 system sends SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
reports to indicate conditions, including the following:
• All alert conditions found on the V500 system's alert page
• Details of jitter, latency, and packet loss
• Low battery power is detected in the remote control
• A system powers on after a long period powered off
• Administrator logon is successful or unsuccessful
• A call fails for a reason other than a busy line
• A user requests help
• A telephone or video call connects or disconnects
In order to allow your SNMP management console application to resolve
SNMP traps and display human-readable text descriptions for those traps, you
need to install Polycom MIBs (Management Information Bases) on the
computer you intend to use as your network management station.
The MIBs are available for download from the V500 web interface.
To download the Polycom MIBs:
1. On a computer, open a web browser.
2. In the browser address line, enter the IP address of the system (for
example, http://10.11.12.13) to go to the V500 web interface.
3. Go to System Setup > Admin Settings > Global Services > SNMP.
4. Click Download MIB and follow the onscreen instructions.
