What Is Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DataIsdnMIB?

Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DataIsdnMIB is a vendor-specific Nortel MIB for the MSCarrier Passport switching platform, focused on managing data-over-ISDN signaling channels and call configuration. It exposes provisioning and status data including row-status controlled signaling channel tables, per-channel component naming and storage type, and call identifier (CID) data tables tied to signaling channel indices. Its monitoring role centers on configuration and operational status of signaling channels: dsigChanRowStatus reflects whether a signaling channel entry is active, provisioned, or being modified, effectively indicating the operational readiness of that ISDN data path, while the CID data table supports tracking of call-level identification information for active or historical calls. Loading Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DataIsdnMIB in a MIB Browser exposes these signaling-channel, provisioning, and CID tables for inspection alongside the shared Passport component-naming conventions. It is a component-specific module within the broader Nortel MscPassport MIB family, implying dependency on shared Passport platform conventions for component naming and row-status conventions used elsewhere in that vendor's MIB suite. It is deployed on Nortel Passport multiservice switching platforms providing ISDN data services within carrier or enterprise WAN environments.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DataIsdnMIB. 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 MscPassport multiservice switching platform

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would inspect mscDataSigChanRowStatusTable/mscDataSigChanRowStatusEntry, using mscDataSigChanIndex and mscDataSigChanRowStatus to confirm whether a given signaling channel is in the active state, and check mscDataSigChanComponentName for the platform's internal component identifier. The mscDataSigChanProvTable/mscDataSigChanProvEntry with mscDataSigChanCommentText allows administrators to see provisioning notes attached to a channel, while mscDataSigChanCidDataTable/mscDataSigChanCidDataEntry would be queried to correlate call identifier data for troubleshooting a specific ISDN data call. A signaling channel stuck in a non-active row status would indicate a provisioning failure preventing that ISDN path from carrying data traffic.

What Can Be Monitored

  • signaling channel row status
  • channel provisioning state
  • component naming/storage type
  • call identifier (CID) data

FAQ

How would I check whether a data-over-ISDN signaling channel is active on a Nortel MscPassport switch?
The MIB exposes dsigChanRowStatus, which reflects whether a signaling channel entry is active, provisioned, or being modified — effectively the operational readiness of that ISDN data path. An engineer maintaining ISDN data services on a Passport platform can poll this status to confirm a signaling channel is correctly provisioned before troubleshooting a call failure further.

Does Nortel-MsCarrier-MscPassport-DataIsdnMIB help with tracking individual ISDN calls?
Yes — it includes a call identifier (CID) data table tied to signaling channel indices, which supports tracking call-level identification information for active or historical calls. This is useful when investigating a specific customer-reported ISDN call issue on a carrier's Passport switching platform.
