Description: Manages Siemens HP4K host interface module configuration, port status, and data path state.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is SIEMENS-HP4KHIM-MIB?

SIEMENS-HP4KHIM-MIB is a Siemens enterprise MIB for the HiPath 4000 (HP4K) telephony platform's Host Interface Module (HIM), covering hardware architecture identification, software version/release tracking, and welcome-page/PABX (private branch exchange) identification data. It exposes objects reporting hardware architecture type, system release and revision level, HIM version, and PABX system numbers, alongside a 'welcome page' table used for system identification during login/administration. Its monitoring emphasis is squarely on software version and hardware architecture status: confirming which HP4K system release, revision level, and hardware architecture a given HIM is running, which is essential for compatibility checks before applying patches or interoperating with other PBX nodes. It is a self-contained Siemens enterprise MIB without evident dependency on external standard MIBs. It is deployed in enterprise/carrier telephony environments running Siemens HiPath 4000 PBX systems where the HIM component bridges host management functions to the switching fabric, and a SIEMENS-HP4KHIM-MIB download from Siemens/Unify support lets administrators load it into a MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SIEMENS-HP4KHIM-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Siemens HiPath 4000 (HP4K) PBX host interface module

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll himHP4KVersion, himSystemRelease, and himRevisionLevel together to confirm the exact software build running on a HIM before applying a firmware update, and check himHWArchitecture/himHWArchitectureType to ensure the update package is compatible with the installed hardware generation. Reading himWelPgTable entries such as himWelPgPabxId and himWelPgSysNo confirms which PABX and system number the HIM belongs to, which matters when managing a multi-node HiPath cluster where mismatched release levels between nodes can cause interoperability issues.

What Can Be Monitored

  • HIM hardware architecture type
  • system release version
  • revision level
  • PABX identifier
  • system number
  • operation mode

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using himChanges OID:

Select a Siemens HiPath 4000 (HP4K) PBX host interface module (hardware architecture/software release identification) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type himChanges into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. Indicates the number of finished HIM discoveries - corresponds to the number of hicomHWDiscovXXX traps sent out. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
