ASCEND-MIBDS1CLKERR-MIB

Description: Monitors DS1 clock error statistics and synchronization faults on Ascend WAN equipment.

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.

ASCEND-MIBDS1CLKERR-MIB is an Ascend Communications private MIB focused specifically on DS1 (T1) clock error and synchronization statistics on Ascend WAN access equipment. It exposes counters and status objects related to clock slips, timing loss, and synchronization faults on T1/DS1 interfaces, a narrow slice of the broader DS1/E1 line-status picture. Its monitoring role is squarely about hardware/line-level fault detection -- clock errors and synchronization loss on a DS1 span are early indicators of timing-source problems, cabling issues, or carrier-side circuit faults that can cause bit errors or dropped calls/data on the link. It complements the standard IETF DS1-MIB, which covers general DS1 line status, by adding Ascend-specific clock-error detail. It is typically deployed on legacy Ascend WAN access concentrators and routers terminating T1/DS1 circuits from a telco, and network engineers can download the ASCEND-MIBDS1CLKERR-MIB file to add it to their monitoring toolset.

An operator would poll the DS1 clock-error counters exposed by this MIB (specific object names were not present in the sampled source) to watch for an increasing count of clock slips or loss-of-synchronization events on a given DS1 interface. A rising clock-error count on one span, especially compared to other DS1 interfaces on the same chassis, would point to a timing-reference problem or a degrading physical T1 circuit from the carrier.
