Description: GE MDS licensed narrowband radio interface MIB defining signal quality, frequency, and link statistics for GE MDS narrowband radios.

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 MDS-IF-LN-MIB?

This MIB module is a vendor-specific extension from GE MDS (Motorola Solutions) for licensed narrowband (LN) radio interfaces used in industrial wireless telemetry and SCADA networks. It exposes data on link status, initialization state, device operating mode, alarms, hardware identification, and radio temperature for each licensed narrowband interface. It is explicitly used to monitor hardware health of the radio, including link status, alarm conditions, current device mode, firmware revision, hardware ID/revision, and internal temperature, essential for verifying that a remote radio is properly linked and not overheating or faulting. As an interface-level MIB, it likely complements or extends the standard IF-MIB for these narrowband radio ports. Typical deployment is in industrial SCADA/telemetry networks where GE MDS narrowband radios link remote sites over licensed radio spectrum, and operators poll this MIB to confirm radio link integrity and hardware condition. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the MDS-IF-LN-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MDS-IF-LN-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

GE MDS licensed narrowband radio
industrial SCADA/telemetry radio

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll mIfLnStatusTable / mIfLnStatusEntry to check mIfLnLinkStatus and mIfLnInitStatus for each radio interface, confirming the link is established after a power cycle. Reading mIfLnTemperature alongside mIfLnAlarms can reveal an overheating radio or an active fault condition before it causes a link outage. mIfLnSerialNumber, mIfLnFirmwareRevision, and mIfLnHardwareId/mIfLnHardwareRevision allow inventory tracking and firmware consistency checks across a fleet of radios, while mIfLnCurrentDeviceMode confirms whether the radio is operating as repeater, remote, or base station.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using mIfLnTemperature OID:

Select a GE MDS licensed narrowband radio (industrial SCADA/telemetry) 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 mIfLnTemperature 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 transceiver temperature. 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 Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the reported value exceeds the level expected for healthy operation, since sustained high temperature often precedes thermal shutdown or hardware degradation. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
