Description: MIB for PictureTel VCS system-level statistics tracking call state, H.320/H.323 call counts, voice-only sessions, and camera command totals

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-SYSSTAT-MIB?

PICTURETEL-VCS-SYSSTAT-MIB is a PictureTel Corporation (videoconferencing pioneer) proprietary MIB reporting VCS (Video Conferencing System) call-activity and camera/IR-command usage statistics. Its objects cover total camera and IR-remote key commands, time since SAPI startup, time in calls since startup/system-creation, time in voice-only calls, total H.320/H.323/voice-only calls placed and received, current call state and duration per call type, VCS/platform/remote-management software version, and H.323 core version. As a performance/status MIB it lets an administrator watch call volume and confirm which call type (H.320, H.323, voice-only) a PictureTel VCS unit is currently handling. It is deployed on PictureTel VCS videoconferencing systems. Engineers can download the PICTURETEL-VCS-SYSSTAT-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

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

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks ptH323CallState and ptTotalH323CallsReceived to confirm call activity and current call type on a PictureTel VCS videoconferencing unit.

What Can Be Monitored

call activity, state, and duration by call type

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ptTotalCameraCommands OID:

Select a PictureTel VCS videoconferencing system (call-activity/version 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 ptTotalCameraCommands into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports the number of commands sent to the local camera. 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.
