What Is NTWS-AP-TC?
NTWS-AP-TC is a Nortel Networks textual-conventions module defining shared enumerated types - access point (AP) operational state, radio type, and frequency band - used across Nortel's NTWS wireless-switch family of MIBs, which manage centralized Access Controllers (wireless switches/controllers) and the thin Access Points they control. As a TC-only module it defines no pollable objects itself and therefore carries no direct interface, environment, or performance data. Its purpose is to standardize how the Access Controller's data MIBs represent each AP's hardware/radio state - such as whether an AP's radio is up, its frequency band, or its connection state to the controller - enabling consistent AP status monitoring across those modules. It is a required type dependency for the broader Nortel NTWS wireless MIB suite covering AP inventory, radio, and client data, and engineers consulting the NTWS-AP-TC reference will find only these enumerated types rather than pollable status objects. It is deployed in enterprise WLAN environments using legacy Nortel/Avaya wireless switch (Access Controller) and thin-AP architecture.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NTWS-AP-TC. 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
- Nortel/Avaya Wireless LAN Access Controllers (switches)
- Nortel NTWS thin Access Points
Monitoring Examples
This is a textual-conventions-only module with no runtime data objects, so no concrete monitoring scenario applies here; Nortel's NTWS access-point and radio data MIBs import these state/type enumerations to represent AP hardware and connectivity status consistently.
