Total Control MIBs and the U.S. Robotics
Enterprise
The Total Control MP/16 uses a subset of the Total Control MIBs.
They are identical to compatible revisions of MIBs used with other
U.S. Robotics enterprise equipment.
The complete set of Total Control MIBs are comprised of the
standard MIBII, the DS1 MIB, and a number of enterprise-specific
MIBs. The Assigned Numbers Authority has reserved enterprise
number 429 for U.S. Robotics. All of the enterprise-specific Total
Control MIBs reside under this node on the enterprise sub-tree.
Total Control MIB Terminology and the
MP/16
When applying Total Control MIBs to an MP/16, use the following
guidelines:
♦
Modems 1-8 are slot 1, channels 1-8; modems 9-16 are slot 2
channels 1-8.
♦
The MP/16 is referred to as a chassis.
♦
The term NMC describes a chassis’s management module.
