mdmLineState

Module: Modem-MIB

OID (symbolic): Modem-MIB::mdmLineState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.38.1.1.3.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Allows the inspection and alteration of the state of the modem. Management commands may change the state to `on- hook', `busied-out', or `reset' from any state. No other alterations are permitted from the management protocol. When this object is set to reset, the modem shall be reset and the value will change to the modem's new, implementation dependent state.

What is mdmLineState?

Reports and lets an admin change the modem's line state (unknown, on-hook, off-hook, connected, busied-out, or reset); management can force the modem on-hook, busy it out to block use, or reset it remotely, which is how an admin recovers a hung modem without a site visit.
