The MIBs are available for download from the V500 web interface.

To download the Polycom MIBs:

1.On a PC, open a web browser.

2.In the browser address line, enter the IP address of the system (for example, http://255.255.255.255) 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.
