What Is OMNI-gx2RX200-MIB?

This MIB manages the Cisco (originally Scientific-Atlanta) GX2 RX200 200 MHz optical receiver card, a module in GX2-series HFC optical nodes responsible for converting downstream optical signals into RF for distribution over the coax plant. No sample objects were provided in this batch, but receiver-card MIBs in this OMNI family typically expose module presence, received optical power level, RF output level, and an operational/fault status. Its purpose is hardware status monitoring for signal quality: tracking received optical power and card operational status helps detect a degraded fiber link, a failing laser/receiver, or a card fault before it causes visible downstream video/data quality problems for subscribers. It belongs to Cisco/Scientific-Atlanta's proprietary GX2 optical node MIB family rather than any IETF standard, working alongside sibling power-supply and expansion-module MIBs to give a full node picture. It is deployed in cable operator HFC networks on GX2 optical nodes at fiber-to-coax conversion points in the outside plant, monitored through the OMNI-gx2RX200-MIB MIB.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in OMNI-gx2RX200-MIB. 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

  • General Instrument OmniStar GX2 HFC headend/optical node (GX2 RX200 200 MHz optical receiver card)

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll the RX200 card's received optical power level and operational status objects (per the OMNI-gx2 module pattern) to confirm the receiver is within its specified optical input range and reporting no fault. A steadily declining optical power reading typically signals fiber attenuation or connector degradation upstream of the node and would prompt a plant inspection before signal loss occurs. Because no object names were available in this batch, exact object names cannot be confirmed and this description reflects the module's known general purpose within the GX2 product line.

What Can Be Monitored

  • received optical power level
  • RF output level
  • card operational/fault status
  • module presence
