Description: iTouch character-mode interface MIB providing SNMP objects for serial port and terminal character device management.

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 ITOUCH-CHARACTER-MIB?

ITOUCH-CHARACTER-MIB is an iTouch Communications enterprise MIB for managing character-mode/serial console access devices, but its sample objects reveal it also covers environmental and power-outlet management typical of console-server/PDU-style hardware. It exposes contact-closure/alarm inputs, controllable power outlets (with on/off and reboot control, naming, and redundancy status), and temperature/humidity sensor data. Its core value is hardware status and control monitoring: reading temperature and humidity from basicTemperatureHumiditySensor, tracking whether a power outlet is on, off, or in a redundant configuration, and watching contact-closure alarm inputs for external fault conditions like an open door or water sensor. It is a self-contained vendor MIB, though it follows conventions common to environmental-monitoring/PDU MIBs in the console-server market. It is deployed on iTouch character-mode terminal servers/console access servers that include environmental sensors and switched power outlets, typically in data center or remote equipment closets. Engineers can download the ITOUCH-CHARACTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ITOUCH-CHARACTER-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

  • iTouch character-mode terminal/console servers with environmental sensors and switched PDU outlets

Monitoring Examples

An administrator polls basicPowerOutletTable (basicPowerOutletEntry) to check basicPowerOutletOnOff per basicPowerOutletName, and can invoke basicPowerOutletReboot to power-cycle a hung device attached to a specific outlet. basicContactClosureOrAlarmInputTable is watched for a triggered alarm input indicating an open cabinet door or leak sensor. basicTemperatureHumiditySensor readings, referenced against basicTemperatureUnits, are tracked to catch a rack overheating before attached equipment is damaged.

What Can Be Monitored

  • power outlet on/off state
  • power outlet redundancy status
  • remote outlet reboot capability
  • contact-closure/alarm inputs
  • temperature and humidity readings
