1. Introduction
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects used for managing dial-up
modems and similar dial-up devices. This MIB module provides a set
of objects that are the minimum necessary to provide the ability to
monitor and control those devices, and is consistent with the SNMP
framework and existing SNMP standards.

RFC 1696 Modem MIB August 1994
2. The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework
The SNMPv2 Network Management Framework consists of four major
components. They are:
o RFC 1442 which defines the SMI, the mechanisms used for
describing and naming objects for the purpose of management.
o STD 17, RFC 1213 defines MIB-II, the core set of managed objects
for the Internet suite of protocols.
o RFC 1445 which defines the administrative and other
architectural aspects of the framework.
o RFC 1448 which defines the protocol used for network access to
managed objects.
The Framework permits new objects to be defined for the purpose of
experimentation and evaluation.
2.1. Object Definitions
Managed objects are accessed via a virtual information store, termed
the Management Information Base or MIB. Objects in the MIB are
defined using the subset of Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1)
defined in the SMI. In particular, each object object type is named
by an OBJECT IDENTIFIER, an administratively assigned name. The
object type together with an object instance serves to uniquely
identify a specific instantiation of the object. For human
convenience, we often use a textual string, termed the descriptor, to
refer to the object type.

agent shall make this determination in an implementation-
specific manner that may take into account the configuration
of other capabilities or other considerations. The modem
will choose in an implementation-specific manner between
multiple mutually-exclusive capabilities that each have the
same (non-disabled) value. However, the modem must prefer
all capabilities with a value of 'preferred(3)' over all
capabilities with a value of 'optional(2)'.
In other words, if there are one or more mutually-exclusive
capabilities (e.g. V.32 and V.32bis) that are set to
`preferred', the agent must choose one in an
implementation-specific manner. Otherwise, if there are one
or more mutually-exclusive capabilities that are set to
`optional', the agent must choose one in an implementation-
specific manner."

commands include escaping to command mode, initiating
dialing, restoring lines, and disconnecting.
inactivityTimeout:
The call was terminated because it was inactive for
at the minimum duration specified.
mnpIncompatibility:
The modems are unable to resolve MNP protocol
differences.
protocolError:
An error occured in one of protocol in use. Further
information is required to determine in which
protocol the error occurred, and the exact nature of
the error.
powerLoss:
The modem lost power and disconnected the call.
equipmentFailure:
The modem equipment failed.
dtrDrop:
DTR has been turned off while the modem is to
disconnect on DTR drop. (Ref: V.58 cct108TurnedOff)
noDialTone:
If the modem is to monitor for call progress tones,
but the modem has failed to detect dial tone while
attempting to dial a number.
lineBusy:
Busy signal is detected while busy signal detection
is enabled, or while the 'W' or '@' dial modifier is
used. (Ref: V.58 engagedTone)
noAnswer:
The call was not answered.
voiceDetected:
A voice was detected on the call.
carrierLost:
Indicates that the modem has disconnected due to
detection of loss of carrier. In TIA-602, the S10
register determines the time that loss of carrier
Barnes, Brown, Royston & Waldbusser [Page 20]
RFC 1696 Modem MIB August 1994
must be detected before the modem disconnects.
trainingFailed:
Indicates that the modems did not successfully train
and reach data mode on the previous connection.
faxDetected:
A fax was detected on the call."
