Description: Manages Symmetricom PPS time-of-day output configuration and TOD format settings.
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 SYMMCOMMONPPSTOD?
SYMMCOMMONPPSTOD is a Symmetricom common MIB module covering Pulse-Per-Second (PPS) and Time-of-Day (TOD) input/output status and configuration on Symmetricom precision timing products such as GPS-disciplined clocks and network time servers. It exposes configuration objects for TOD output format/protocol selection and status objects reflecting the state of PPS and TOD signal ports. Its core monitoring value is tracking hardware timing signal health and software configuration state, such as whether a PPS/TOD port is active and correctly formatted, which is critical status information distinct from general CPU or memory metrics. As a "Common" module it is shared/imported by other Symmetricom product MIBs, indicating it underlies a family of related timing-device MIBs rather than standing alone. It is deployed in telecom, financial, and utility environments requiring precise time synchronization, typically wired into Symmetricom GPS clocks, time servers, or timing distribution units. Engineers can download the SYMMCOMMONPPSTOD file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SYMMCOMMONPPSTOD. 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
- Symmetricom precision timing appliances (GPS clocks, time servers)
- network timing distribution units
Monitoring Examples
No concrete object or table names were captured from this MIB's parsed source. In practice an operator would poll PPS/TOD status and configuration objects to confirm a timing appliance's 1PPS output is active and its TOD serial/IRIG output is formatted and synchronized correctly, with a status change signaling a lost timing reference.
What Can Be Monitored
- PPS output status
- TOD output format/configuration
- timing port operational state
- synchronization status
