Description: Tracks modem call details including connect speeds and error rates on Cisco dial access platforms.

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 CISCO-CALL-TRACKER-MODEM-MIB?

CISCO-CALL-TRACKER-MODEM-MIB is a Cisco-proprietary MIB that extends the Cisco Call Tracker framework with modem-specific call detail data for Cisco dial-access equipment such as access servers. It exposes per-call data on active and historical modem sessions, including negotiated and projected connection speeds, modulation type, and error-correction protocol in use. Rather than chassis hardware health, this MIB monitors the software/session-level status of modem calls: connect rate degradation (via cctmActiveRxRate/TxRate versus cctmActiveProjectedMaxRxRate/TxRate), modulation renegotiation issues (cctmActiveAttemptedModulation vs. cctmActiveModulation), and error-correction protocol status, all of which indicate line-quality or modem-negotiation problems. It explicitly extends the base CISCO-CALL-TRACKER-MIB and depends on that module's call-tracking table structure for indexing and correlation. It is typically deployed on Cisco dial-up access server platforms (e.g. AS5xxx series) used by ISPs and enterprises for analog/dial-in connectivity. Engineers can download the CISCO-CALL-TRACKER-MODEM-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-CALL-TRACKER-MODEM-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

  • Cisco dial access servers (e.g. AS5xxx series with modem cards)

Monitoring Examples

A support engineer troubleshooting slow dial-up connections would poll cctmActiveTable and compare cctmActiveRxRate/cctmActiveTxRate against cctmActiveProjectedMaxRxRate/cctmActiveProjectedMaxTxRate to see if a modem is connecting well below its theoretical maximum, indicating a noisy phone line. Comparing cctmActiveAttemptedModulation to cctmActiveModulation reveals whether the modem had to fall back to a lower-performance modulation scheme during negotiation. cctmActiveAttemptedECProtocol versus cctmActiveECProtocol would be checked to confirm error-correction was successfully negotiated, and cctmHistory would be consulted to review patterns across past calls.

What Can Be Monitored

  • modem connect (Rx/Tx) rates
  • projected maximum connect rates
  • modulation type negotiated
  • error-correction protocol status
  • modem call history

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using cctmActiveLocalUpRateShifts OID:

Select a Cisco dial access server (e.g. AS5xxx with modem cards) 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 cctmActiveLocalUpRateShifts into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The count of locally initiated rate shifts to increase the data rate which were successful. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
