Description: GE MDS NX-series radio interface MIB defining wireless link performance and configuration objects for GE MDS NX platform devices.

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-NX-MIB?

MDS-IF-NX-MIB is a GE MDS (General Electric MDS, now GE Grid Solutions/MDS Orbit) enterprise MIB module for the NX-series 900 MHz wireless radio interface, used in industrial/utility wireless telemetry networks. It exposes both hardware identification/status data (serial number, firmware revision, hardware ID/revision, current modem, temperature) and link-level operational data (link status, initialization status, alarms, and access-point address information). As a monitoring resource it explicitly supports hardware/software health monitoring of the radio: tracking device temperature, firmware/hardware revision for inventory and upgrade planning, link/init status for connectivity faults, and an alarms object for fault conditions on the radio link. It depends on the standard IF-MIB interface-indexing convention to associate the NX radio interface with the device's broader interface table, and complements other GE MDS radio MIBs for the device family. It is deployed on GE MDS NX-series wireless radios used in SCADA/telemetry networks for utilities, oil & gas, and other industrial remote-monitoring applications. Engineers can download the MDS-IF-NX-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in MDS-IF-NX-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 NX-series 900 MHz wireless radio

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll mIfNxLinkStatus and mIfNxInitStatus in mIfNxStatusTable/mIfNxStatusEntry to confirm the 900 MHz radio link to a remote site is up and properly initialized, and check mIfNxAlarms for any active fault conditions. Monitoring mIfNxTemperature over time can reveal a radio module overheating in an outdoor enclosure before it causes a link outage, while mIfNxFirmwareRevision and mIfNxHardwareRevision let an operator confirm all radios in a SCADA network are running consistent firmware, and mIfNxCurrentModem identifies which modem/frequency configuration is currently active on the link.

What Can Be Monitored

radio link status
initialization status
active alarms
device temperature
firmware/hardware revision
current modem/AP address info

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using mIfNxTemperature OID:

Select a GE MDS NX-series 900 MHz wireless radio 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 mIfNxTemperature 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.
