Description: Manages Avaya 96xx series IP telephone endpoints, reporting SIP/H.323 registration, call state, and feature button status.

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 Avaya-96xxIPTelephone-MIB?

The Avaya-96xxIPTelephone-MIB is a vendor-specific SNMP module for Avaya's 96xx series IP telephone endpoints, defined for firmware release S3.1, covering configuration and status of these SIP/H.323 desk phones. It exposes a wide range of endpoint parameters covering audio settings (e.g. automatic gain control for handset/headset/speaker), application/boot identification (running application name, boot file), backlight behavior, and server connectivity settings for call and configuration servers. Its monitoring value is centered on endpoint software/firmware status and connectivity: objects like endptAPPNAME and endptBOOTNAME reveal which software/boot image the phone is currently running (useful for firmware rollout audits), while endptCNASRVR/endptCNAPORT and endptBRURI expose which backup/configuration servers the phone is registered against, helping diagnose registration or provisioning failures. It relies on the phone's underlying SIP or H.323 signaling stack for actual call state, which this MIB surfaces as configuration/status rather than duplicating the protocol itself. It is deployed in enterprise unified-communications environments using Avaya Aura or Avaya IP Office systems with 96xx-series desk phones as endpoints. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the Avaya-96xxIPTelephone-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Avaya-96xxIPTelephone-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

  • Avaya 96xx series IP telephones

Monitoring Examples

An administrator auditing firmware compliance would poll endptAPPNAME and endptAPPINUSE to confirm which application image a given 9600-series phone is actively running, flagging any device still on an outdated version. endptCNASRVR and endptCNAPORT identify the configuration/near-end server a phone is pointed at, so a phone reporting the wrong server would explain a provisioning failure, while endptBOOTNAME confirms the boot file used at last startup. endptCODECR and endptCODECT (receive/transmit codec) can be checked to confirm expected audio codec negotiation, and endptBAKLIGHTOFF is a simple display configuration status check.

What Can Be Monitored

  • running application/software version
  • boot image name
  • configuration/call server address and port
  • codec negotiation (receive/transmit)
  • audio AGC settings

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using endptAGCHAND OID:

Select an Avaya 96xx-series IP telephone (legacy) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type endptAGCHAND into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the handset AGC status. This variable returns 1 if the endpoint's handset Automatic Gain Control capability is currently enabled, else 0. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the value drifts significantly from its normal baseline, since an unexpected change often points to a real underlying issue. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
