It isn't.  This is only a partial OID.  You need to find out what the
correct prefix is to make it a complete OID.

Similar stuff with a cisco OID so you can see what I mean:

[user at home /home/user]$ snmpwalk cisco public .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2
system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.Cisco.1.19
[user at home /home/user]$

Here I ask for OID "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2" and I get in return
OID "system.sysObjectID" with an instance of "0" and a value of
"enterprises.Cisco.1.19".

system.sysObjectID is the "1.2" at the end so my prefix is "1.3.6.1.2.1".

In other words: I query "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2" and the answer shows "1.2" only.

If I would use this in MRTG, I had to use "1.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0".

I'm not sure but I guess 16 is the number for 3com and your OID will be
"1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.1.4.1".  You can try this using snmpget:

snmpget 3combox public .1.3.6.1.4.1.16.1.1.1.4.1
