Description: Defines managed objects for monitoring PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) services, tracking call statistics and performance across PINT clients, servers, and gateways.

IPNetwork Monitor uses several OIDs from this MIB in network discovery and polling the applicable devices. Start monitoring PINT-MIB with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor.

What Is PINT-MIB?

PINT-MIB is an IETF standards-based MIB module for monitoring PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) services, which bridge traditional telephone-network call control with Internet-based signaling. It exposes objects covering installed PINT application packages, registered gateways, and server-side statistics broken down by service type, giving visibility into both configuration and live traffic on a PINT gateway or server. For monitoring purposes it functions mainly as a software/service-status and performance-counter MIB: administrators track registered gateway availability, per-service-type call statistics, and overall server release/version information to detect a PINT gateway going offline or a spike/drop in call volume for a given service. It is a self-contained application-layer MIB but conceptually depends on underlying telephony signaling standards (SIP/PINT protocol per RFC 2848) that it doesn't itself model at the SNMP level. It is typically deployed on carrier-grade PINT gateways and servers that interconnect VoIP/Internet call-control applications with the PSTN. Engineers implementing or auditing this functionality typically reference the PINT-MIB RFC/standard documentation for the authoritative specification.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in PINT-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

PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) gateways and servers
vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, not tied to a specific manufacturer

Monitoring Examples

An operator would poll pintRegisteredGatewayTable/pintRegisteredGatewayEntry to confirm which gateways (identified by pintRegisteredGatewayName) are currently registered and available to handle PINT requests. pintServerGlobalStatsTable, indexed by pintServerServiceTypeIndex, would be checked to track call volume statistics per service type, revealing an unexpected drop that could indicate a failed gateway or signaling problem. pintReleaseNumber confirms the running software version on the server, useful when correlating an issue with a known release-specific bug.

What Can Be Monitored

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using pintServerGlobalCallsReceived OID:

Select a PSTN/Internet Interworking (PINT) gateway or server 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 pintServerGlobalCallsReceived 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. It reports the number of received global calls. 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.
