Description: Provides base SNMP management objects for Delta Energy Systems Orion UPS monitoring and control.

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 ORION-BASE-MIB?

ORION-BASE-MIB (despite the short_desc mentioning UPS, the module description indicates this is actually a DC power system MIB for a PSC 3-based controller, likely from Delta or a related DC power vendor) provides base management objects for a DC power/energy system used to supply telecom or data center equipment. It exposes site and system identity information, software version, a real-time system clock, and both urgent and non-urgent alarm counts along with indexed alarm identifier/name/value tables. Its monitoring value is squarely in fault and hardware status: operators can watch for a mains failure alarm, track counts of urgent versus non-urgent alarms, and drill into specific alarm identifiers and their current values to diagnose power system problems before they cause an outage. It also reports dcSoftwareVersion, letting operators confirm the controller firmware version is current. It is typically deployed at telecom sites, cabinets, or data centers using DC power plants for critical equipment power. Engineers can download the ORION-BASE-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ORION-BASE-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

  • DC power system controller (PSC 3-based)
  • telecom/data center power plant

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll dcNumberUrgentAlarms and dcNumberNonUrgentAlarms for a quick health summary, then check dcMainsFailureAlarm to see if grid power has been lost. Walking the urgent alarm table by dcUrgentAlarmIdentifier and dcUrgentAlarmName while reading dcUrgentAlarmValue reveals exactly which condition (e.g., a specific rectifier or battery fault) is active. Checking dcSoftwareVersion alongside dcSystemDateTime confirms the controller's firmware and clock are correct, which matters for accurate alarm timestamping.

What Can Be Monitored

  • urgent alarm count
  • non-urgent alarm count
  • mains failure alarm state
  • specific alarm identifier and value
  • system software version
  • system date/time

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using dcNumberUrgentAlarms OID:

Select a DC power system controller, PSC 3-based, telecom/data center power plant 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 dcNumberUrgentAlarms into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of currently active urgent alarm sources. A zero value indicates that urgent alarm is not active. 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 a Gauge32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
