Description: MIB for PictureTel VCS H.320 ISDN videoconferencing call statistics including bandwidth, channel count, video, audio, and data protocol metrics

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 PICTURETEL-VCS-H320-MIB?

PICTURETEL-VCS-H320-MIB is a PictureTel Corporation proprietary MIB reporting H.320 videoconference call and video-codec statistics on PictureTel VCS units. Its objects cover call bandwidth, restricted flag, channel count, an H.320-call-statistics table (H.221 frames aligned/lost, SMF transmitted/received, received E-bit-set/CRC-error/BAS-CC-error/BAS-protocol-violation counts), encoder count, and a video-statistics table (transmit/receive algorithm and annex, transmit target/actual frame rate, receive actual frame rate). As a performance MIB it lets an administrator diagnose H.320 call quality (frame loss, protocol violations) and video-codec negotiation on a PictureTel VCS unit. It is deployed on PictureTel VCS videoconferencing systems (H.320). Engineers can download the PICTURETEL-VCS-H320-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PICTURETEL-VCS-H320-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

  • PictureTel VCS videoconferencing systems (H.320)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks ptH320CallH221FramesLost and ptH320VideoReceiveActualFrameRate to diagnose degraded H.320 call quality on a PictureTel VCS unit.

What Can Be Monitored

  • H.320 call frame statistics and video-codec negotiation

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ptH320CallNumberOfChannels OID:

Select a PictureTel VCS videoconferencing system (H.320 call/video-codec statistics) 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 ptH320CallNumberOfChannels into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of network channels aggregated by H.221 (a bonded call has only one channel from the H.221 perspective). 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.
