AISLCALIAS-MIB

Description: Manages port alias configuration on AI-series Serial Line Card modules for interface naming and identification.

AISLCALIAS-MIB is a vendor-specific module from Applied Innovation for its Serial Line Card (SLC) products, allowing administrators to define human-readable aliases for serial ports along with call-routing/addressing metadata. It exposes an alias table where each entry has a name, description, destination, and calling/called address and protocol fields, controlled via standard RowStatus create/destroy semantics. Its monitoring value is primarily configuration-state — confirming that each serial line's alias, destination, and calling/called addressing are correctly provisioned — rather than reporting hardware faults directly, though a missing or malformed alias entry can indicate a provisioning error affecting that line's usability. It's a self-contained configuration MIB typically used alongside other AI-series serial line card MIBs on the same chassis. It's deployed in Applied Innovation remote access/serial aggregation equipment used for legacy modem pooling and utility/telecom dial-up access. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the AISLCALIAS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

An operator would poll aiSLCAliasTable and check aislcaliRowStatus for each entry to confirm an alias is active, then review aislcaliDestination, aislcaliCallingAddr, and aislcaliCalledAddr to verify the serial line's addressing matches the intended remote endpoint. aislcaliShowInDestMenu controls whether the alias appears in a user-facing destination menu, which is checked when a configured alias isn't showing up for dial-in users. A serial line failing to connect despite showing up/active often traces back to a mismatched aislcaliCallingProto/aislcaliCalledProto protocol setting in this table.
