Description: Manages NMS Communications chassis hardware configuration, slot inventory, and module status for enterprise switches.

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 NMS-CHASSIS?

NMS-CHASSIS is a hardware-inventory MIB from NMS Communications for managing chassis-based telecom/media-processing equipment, covering chassis configuration, slot inventory, and per-module status. It belongs to the telecom media gateway/DSP hardware platform technology area. Its data centers on physical hardware inventory and status — chassis slot occupancy, installed module identification, and module operational state. It is explicitly aimed at monitoring hardware status: verifying which modules are present in which slots, whether each module is operating normally or has failed, and overall chassis health, which is central to detecting hardware faults in a modular telecom platform. No sample objects were provided, so a full NMS-CHASSIS OID list cannot be confirmed from this batch, but the module clearly depends on standard entity/chassis conventions common to modular telecom hardware MIBs. It is deployed in telecom/media-gateway environments running NMS Communications chassis-based DSP or voice-processing platforms.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NMS-CHASSIS. 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

  • NMS Communications chassis-based media/DSP processing platforms

Monitoring Examples

No concrete sample objects were supplied for NMS-CHASSIS, so a specific polling scenario using real object names cannot be honestly constructed; based on the module's description an operator would likely poll a slot/module status table to detect an empty or failed slot, but this is inferred rather than object-verified.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using nmsBoxTemp OID:

Select an NMS Communications chassis-based media/DSP processing platform 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 nmsBoxTemp into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the ambient temperature, in degrees Celsius, measured inside the chassis enclosure. 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 INTEGER-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the temperature exceeds 60°C, giving you advance warning before thermal protection or component wear becomes a concern. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
