NMS-TC

Defines NMS Communications textual conventions and data type definitions used across NMS enterprise MIBs.

NMS-TC is an NMS Communications enterprise MIB that defines the textual conventions and shared data types used throughout NMS Communications' family of enterprise MIB modules, which typically cover telephony/media-processing hardware. As a textual-conventions module, it exposes no runtime data objects itself; it standardizes syntax (such as enumerations for status, mode, or resource types) used by NMS Communications' operational MIBs to represent card, resource, or call-processing status. Its monitoring relevance is indirect: the enumerated types it defines are what allow companion NMS MIBs to represent hardware/software status such as board state, resource utilization, or diagnostic condition consistently across the product line. It is a foundational dependency for other NMS Communications enterprise MIB modules, all registered under the same NMS-TC OID branch of NMS Communications' enterprise tree. It is deployed as a support module alongside NMS Communications media processing/telephony boards and gateways wherever those devices are managed via SNMP.

This module defines only TEXTUAL-CONVENTION types shared across NMS Communications MIBs, with no sample tables or scalars of its own to poll. These types would be referenced by companion NMS operational MIBs - for example, a resource-state or board-status enumeration used in a *ResourceTable's status column. An administrator would monitor those companion MIBs' tables rather than this one to see actual board or resource status.
