XEROX-GENERAL-TC

Description: Defines Xerox XCMI textual conventions for general-purpose MIB objects across the XCMI suite.

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.

XEROX-GENERAL-TC is a Xerox Corporation MIB module defining shared textual conventions (custom data types) used across the Xerox Common MIB Interface (XCMI) family of print-device management MIBs. It does not expose device state itself; instead it standardizes low-level types such as 16-bit and split 32/64-bit cardinal, counter, and gauge representations, plus coded country/language and indexed-string conventions, that other XCMI modules reuse for consistency. Because it carries no scalar or table objects of its own, it plays no direct role in reporting uptime, temperature, CPU/memory, or fault status - that monitoring data lives in the XCMI MIBs (print engine, paper tray, consumables, etc.) that import these type definitions. It has a direct dependency relationship with the rest of the XCMI suite, since every module that imports it relies on these conventions to interpret 64-bit counters and gauges correctly on SNMP implementations without native 64-bit support. It is deployed only as a supporting/imported module wherever Xerox XCMI-based printers and multifunction devices are managed. Anyone compiling a dependent XCMI module needs to load the XEROX-GENERAL-TC OID tree first, since the split 64-bit counter and gauge conventions it defines must resolve before the objects that import them can be parsed.

Objects like xCmGenCounter64High/xCmGenCounter64Low and xCmGenGauge64High/xCmGenGauge64Low are split high/low-word textual conventions that other XCMI print MIBs use to represent 64-bit page counters and toner-level gauges on agents lacking native Counter64 support; xCmGenCardinal16/32 serve as generic bounded-integer types. This module defines no runtime instances of its own, so there is no monitoring scenario to describe directly - it is purely a type-definition dependency for other Xerox print-management MIBs.
