SNMP and AMX

Andrew G Welker

I have a device that only accepts SNMP control via it's ethernet port. I was able to get an mib file from the manufacturer, and am now trying to figure out how to use the MIB file to make my AMX system control this device. Does anyone have any insights into how to go about accomplishing this?

Thanks. I've found most of those threads. The first one says I don't have permissions to access it. The second one has a dead link to the Duet module in question. The third has info on using SNMP to control an AMX master. I'll take a closer look at the last one. I did open the MIB file with a text editor, and it says that, if I'm interpreting it correctly, the file in question uses RFC-1212, along with a module from the company.

Hi Andrew,

Did some SNMP programming last year. It's not that simple and it took me a lot of time to figure out how SNMP is working.
First download http://www.rane.com/note161.html. It gives good , detailed and simple info about SNMP.
Second you can download MIB browser from MG soft and Microsoft Network monitor to see what's happening.
These are the tools i used. With MIB browser you can cleary see the structure of a MIB en even control a device by SNMP. MS network is very usefull to see what info is coming from a device.

Good luck.
