Description: Manages 56K switched digital service modem configuration on Ascend WAN access 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.
What Is ASCEND-MIBS56-MIB?
This is a proprietary Ascend Communications MIB for 56K switched digital service (SW56) modem configuration on Ascend WAN access equipment. It exposes configuration parameters for legacy 56 kbps switched-digital modem channels used for dial-up WAN backup or primary links. It supports monitoring the software/hardware configuration status of these channels — confirming they are correctly provisioned and operational — though as a legacy technology it centers more on configuration than rich fault telemetry. It has no significant dependency on other standard MIBs, being a narrow Ascend-proprietary extension for an obsolete WAN service. It is deployed on older Ascend dial-access routers used for switched-56 WAN links, largely in legacy telecom/enterprise backup circuits, and engineers maintaining this older gear can download the ASCEND-MIBS56-MIB file to load it into a MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ASCEND-MIBS56-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Ascend WAN access router (switched-56 digital service)
Monitoring Examples
No object names were captured for this module, but a MIB of this kind would typically expose a per-channel configuration/status table (an ascendS56*Table/Entry pattern) indicating channel enabled state and connection status. An administrator would check this to confirm a switched-56 backup channel is armed and ready, with a disabled or inactive status indicating the backup path would not be available if the primary link failed.
What Can Be Monitored
- switched-56 channel configuration
- channel enabled/connected status
