Using MG-SOFT MIB Browser to run Phihong Midspan
As an example, we have detailed instructions on how to operate a Phihong Midspan using the MG-
SOFT MIB browser. These instructions do not apply to all MIB browsers, please see instructions for
your specific browser if you don’t want to use this software.
4.4.1 Generate Phihong-POE-MIB module
It is assumed that MG-Soft MIB browser is already installed on your PC. For detailed operation
information, users can get help by choosing from the menu Help » User Manual when the MG-SOFT
MIB Browser is opened.
1. Open the MIB Browser and click the Continue button on the Welcome popup window. A Tip
of the Day window may pop-up for certain options in this browser. Users may choose to click
the little box in the lower left hand corner to stop these pop-ups.
2. Click the MIB tab; remove any MIB modules in the “Loaded MIB modules” by highlighting and
double clicking them.
3. Under the Action menu - open Run MIB Compiler.
4. In the MG-SOFT MIB Compiler window, click File then Compile…… then in the Open window,
browse for and open PHIHONG-POE-MIB.txt (users can get SNMP MIB rev 10/30/09 from the
support section on either www.phihong.com or www.midspans.com).
5. If compiling is successful, a Compiled MIB Modules window will be displayed. Click Save All
and click OK on the Browse for Folder window.
6. Close the MG-SOFT MIB Compiler window.
7. In the MG-SOFT MIB Browser window, click the circular arrow button (the middle one of 5
buttons right below the Loaded MIB modules window). This will update the MIB Browser
windows’ contents (including the newly compiled MIB module Phihong-POE-MIB).
8. In the lower window, click the tab MIB Modules. Locate the module < Phihong-POE-MIB >.
Highlighting and double clicking it will load it into the upper Loaded MIB modules window.
9. Also locate <RFC1213-MIB> and <SNMPv2-MIB>, load them into the upper Loaded MIB
modules window.
10.Now the setup for Phihong’s Midspan SNMP interface is complete.
