mdmDTEInactivityTimeout

Module: Modem-MIB

OID (symbolic): Modem-MIB::mdmDTEInactivityTimeout

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.38.1.1.6.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-write

Description: The amount of idle time in minutes that the modem will wait before disconnecting a connection. When a call is connected and no data is transferred (continuous marking condition) on both circuits 103 and 104 for the specified time, the DCE disconnects the call. If the value is 0, no idle disconnect will occur. This function applies to asynchronous dial operations only and is intended for administrative control over idle connections.

What is mdmDTEInactivityTimeout?

Sets, in minutes, how long a connected call can sit idle with no data on either circuit before the modem disconnects it, with 0 disabling idle disconnects; an admin tunes this for asynchronous dial-up lines to free up ports that dialed in but went idle.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.38.1.1.6.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Modem-MIB::mdmDTEInactivityTimeout

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.38.1.1.6.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Modem-MIB::mdmDTEInactivityTimeout.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.38.1.1.6.1.5.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> mdmDTEInactivityTimeout.1
