Hi,
 
My mistake about (3) below - of course prtAlertDescription can only
discriminate between multiple subunits for _humans_.  A proper MIB
is required (which is by the way named "Imaging System MIB", not
"MFP MIB") - the term "MFP" is used in WIMS/1.0 and the SM/2.0
update work only informatively - the authoritative term is "Imaging
System" (containing Agent, Manager, Services, Subunits, etc).
 
Cheers,
- Ira

Hi Ron,

 

Will you send your response to the PMP list, so others may see your answers?

 

I am thinking it is really weird to have the scanner covers, input, and
media path defined in the print mib and other components defined in the MFP
mib...

 

I suppose the description field could be used as a quick and dirty
alternative to implementing the MFP mib. I would be interested in what Ira
has to say.

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

 

1)  I do recall discussing this in the conference, but left it out of my
notes.  Media path should not be a Scan Group.  I will remove in the next
revision.

 

2)  That is correct.  So the covers table (or group) includes the Printer,
Sacn Device, and Fax Device.  Same for the other common groups.

 

3)  Ira has said that this would be covered by the description field in the
alert table.  I disagree and believe a MIB is necessary to properly define.
Do you agree?

 

Hope this helps.

 

    Regards,

    Ron

Hi Ron,

 

I have a few questions about the MFP Alerts draft.

 

1. If there are no groups for scanDeviceCover or scanDeviceInput, why is
there a group for scanDeviceMediaPath?

 

2. If, for example, the scanner document feeder cover was open, then the
prtAlertTable entry would include prtAlertGroup = 6 (Cover), but then the
prtAlertGroupIndex should point to a cover in the prtCover table. So now I
have scan device covers implemented in the printer MIB, but other scan
device subunits in the MFP MIB? 

 

3. In the examples in section 10.1.3 for the scanDeviceScanner group there
is Lamp Missing, subunitMissing(9) / subunitRemoved(26). What if I have
multiple subunits that could be missing? There is no way to tell without
using prtAlertGroupIndex to point to a table entry in the MFP MIB?

 

Thanks,

 

Stuart
