What Is CISCO-DMN-DSG-BISS-MIB?
CISCO-DMN-DSG-BISS-MIB is a vendor-specific Cisco MIB for the Cisco DMN (Digital Media Network) product line, specifically the D9800 satellite receiver, covering the Basic Interoperable Scrambling System (BISS) used to descramble satellite video feeds in broadcast contribution links. It exposes BISS operating-mode and session-word/key configuration objects used to control descrambling of an incoming satellite signal. Its monitoring focus is on the software/configuration status of the descrambling function -- confirming the correct BISS mode and session word/injected ID are set -- rather than general hardware sensors like temperature or fan speed. No explicit dependency on other MIBs is indicated, though it fits within Cisco's broader DMN/D9800 receiver MIB family for satellite reception. It is deployed by broadcasters and satellite uplink/downlink operators using Cisco D9800 receivers to manage secure, BISS-scrambled satellite video contribution feeds. Engineers can download the CISCO-DMN-DSG-BISS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DMN-DSG-BISS-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 DMN D9800 satellite receiver
Monitoring Examples
A broadcast engineer would check bissMode to confirm which BISS variant (Mode 1 vs Mode E) is configured on a D9800 receiver, and verify bissMode1SessionWord or bissModeESessionWord/bissModeEInjectedId match the values used by the uplink encoder. A mismatch between the receiver's configured session word and the encoder's would reveal itself as a failure to descramble the incoming satellite feed, showing as a black or frozen picture rather than a hardware fault.
What Can Be Monitored
- BISS operating mode
- BISS session word (Mode 1)
- BISS session word (Mode E)
- BISS injected ID (Mode E)
