Executive Summary
The Property MIB defines the "properties" that may be associated with each alarmable parameter in HMS MIBs. The purpose of a "property" is to provide a mechanism to manage alarm thresholds. Both analog and discrete alarmable values are defined.
Scope
The Property MIB contains information that must be supported by all HMS network elements, including but not limited to, transponders, line monitors, amplifiers, fiber nodes and power supplies. The MIB is defined so that "properties" may be applied to any parameter (not necessarily limited to HMS MIB objects), because each property is indexed by the object identifier of the parameter.

Benefits
The Property MIB defines a simple and consistent model for defining alarm conditions for basic parameters in an SNMP status monitoring environment. This model is flexible enough to support a wide range of products and use cases, yet sufficiently light-weight to be implemented on low-cost, low-power transponders.
Intended Audience
This document is intended for HMS network operators, using and/or defining SNMP-based network management systems, as well as for product vendors, to correctly implement the HMS standards that the network operators expect.
