paraInSigChanges

Module: PARALLEL-MIB

OID (symbolic): PARALLEL-MIB::paraInSigChanges

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Counter32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of times the signal has changed from 'on' to 'off' or from 'off' to 'on'.

What is paraInSigChanges?

This counts the total number of times this input signal has toggled between on and off states since the counter was last reset. An admin watches this counter to detect flapping or unstable signal lines, such as a busy signal toggling rapidly, which could indicate an intermittent hardware or cabling problem rather than normal print job activity. For example, a rapidly increasing paraInSigChanges count on the busy signal over a short period might prompt an admin to check the parallel cable connection for a loose or failing pin.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> PARALLEL-MIB::paraInSigChanges

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.34.3.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> PARALLEL-MIB::paraInSigChanges.1

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (parallel/Centronics port hardware) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Create custom SNMP monitor using the PARALLEL-MIB::paraInSigChanges OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB (parallel/Centronics port hardware) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing PARALLEL-MIB 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 paraInSigChanges into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The number of times the signal has changed from 'on' to 'off' or from 'off' to 'on'. 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 Counter32-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.
