What Is CISCO-DMN-DSG-DISEQC-DISH-POSITION-MIB?
This MIB is part of Cisco's Digital Media Network (DMN) Digital Satellite Gateway (DSG) family, specifically covering DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) motor control for satellite dish antenna positioning on Cisco D9800 satellite receivers. It exposes configuration and control objects for dish position, satellite selection, and installer/user-initiated positioning actions. Its monitoring value lies in confirming the operational and configuration status of dish-pointing hardware, such as whether DiSEqC control is enabled, the current dish position, an east/west flag, and whether a position-jog or install action is in progress or has completed. It is a Cisco-specific hardware-control MIB with no significant dependency on other standard MIBs beyond general SNMP conventions, since DiSEqC itself is an industry protocol for satellite equipment rather than an IETF MIB. It is deployed in cable/satellite headend environments where D9800 receivers must be aimed at, and track, specific satellites. Engineers can download the CISCO-DMN-DSG-DISEQC-DISH-POSITION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CISCO-DMN-DSG-DISEQC-DISH-POSITION-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 D9800 digital satellite receiver/gateway
- satellite headend DiSEqC dish-positioning equipment
Monitoring Examples
A headend technician would poll diSEqCTable (keyed by diSEqCInstance) to read diSEqCEnable and diSEqCDishPosition, confirming which satellite is selected via diSEqCSatSelect and whether diSEqCMode reflects an installer or user-driven operation. If diSEqCPositionJog commands are issued but diSEqCDishPosition fails to change accordingly, or diSEqCEWFlag reports an unexpected orientation, it signals a motor or antenna alignment fault requiring physical inspection. diSEqCInstallerAction and diSEqCUserAction let staff distinguish maintenance-triggered repositioning from automated tracking actions.
What Can Be Monitored
- dish position
- DiSEqC enable state
- satellite selection
- east/west flag
- installer/user action status
- operating mode
