The SCTE-HMS Management Information Base (MIB) can be monitored with a SNMP compatible Network Management System (NMS) or with a MIB browser. The following MIB files are required for the MIB browser to collect data from the transponder. These files can be found on the Society of Cable Telecommunications (SCTE) Web site: www.scte.org. There are dependencies between MIB files, so they should be compiled in the following order.
