About the Snmp Point Manager view

The Snmp Point Manager view is the default view on SnmpDevice Points extension. It is used to compile and display the contents of MIB files for easy creation of Snmp proxy points that represent data values in the actual SnmpDevice (based on the information contained in the compiled MIB file). It is also used for viewing, storing, and removing Snmp trap and notification types learned for an SnmpDevice from the compiled MIB file.

The Snmp Point Manager view is basically the same as the standard point manager view that is used for most Niagara drivers and is described in detail in the Niagara Drivers Guide.

The Snmp Point Manager view splits into two panes when you select a Discover button and walk a MIB.
