Authentication Methods

SNMP Community String (SNMPv1/v2c) or SNMPv3 Credentials

The adapter connects to the Philips PerformanceBridge Focal Point server using SNMP protocol. You can use either:

• SNMPv1/v2c: Requires a read community string
• SNMPv3: Requires username, authentication password, privacy password, and protocol settings

APIs

Axonius uses the Philips PerformanceBridge Focal Point SNMP agent. The following SNMP MIB tables are queried:

• msHostTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.38222.1.1.1.2.6) - Retrieves PIIC host information
• msMonitorTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.38222.1.1.1.2.3) - Retrieves patient monitor information
• msApTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.38222.1.1.1.2.1) - Retrieves Smart Hopping Access Point information
• msApcTable (1.3.6.1.4.1.38222.1.1.1.2.2) - Retrieves Access Point Controller information

Note: The adapter uses the PHILIPS-MANAGEMENT-SYSTEM-MIB (enterprise OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.38222).

Required Permissions

The SNMP agent on the Philips PerformanceBridge Focal Point server must be configured to allow read access to the device tables listed above.

SNMPv1/v2c

• Read-only community string - Allows SNMP GET and WALK operations on the Philips MIB tables

SNMPv3

• Read-only user credentials - User account with read access to the Philips MIB tables
• Authentication and Privacy protocols - Configured according to your organization's security requirements

Note: The exact permission names should be confirmed with your Philips administrator or Philips support, as the API documentation is not publicly available.
