Description: Manages Xyplex character-mode serial port sessions, flow control, and terminal emulation 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 XYPLEX-CHARACTER-MIB?

XYPLEX-CHARACTER-MIB is a legacy Xyplex (terminal server vendor, enterprise OID 33) proprietary MIB reporting basic server-wide 'characteristics' settings and per-port default destinations on a Xyplex terminal server. Its objects cover broadcast/error-report/lock enable, inactivity timer, password-retry limit, privileged/login passwords, login prompt/welcome text, active ports/users (with high-water marks), session count/high-water mark/limit, and a per-port table (default-destination action/protocol/name/LAT-node-name/LAT-port-name, auto-connect flag). As a configuration/status MIB it lets an administrator confirm terminal-server session capacity and a port's default connection target. It is deployed on legacy Xyplex terminal server equipment. Engineers can download the XYPLEX-CHARACTER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in XYPLEX-CHARACTER-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

  • Legacy Xyplex terminal server equipment

Monitoring Examples

An administrator checks basicSessions against basicSessionsLimit to confirm a legacy Xyplex terminal server isn't approaching its session capacity.
