The ASPP MIB provides the configuration and operational information on asynchronous polled protocols such as the asynchronous security protocols that alarm monitoring companies use. The protocols are handled in passthrough mode. ASPP will handle the receiving and sending of the asychronous blocks. It will not perform any error checking. It is the responsibilty of the end-station to perform any required error recovery. A generic protocol has been created to support asychronous protocols. In some situations this doesn't work for all types since there is no alarm protocol standard. Specific vendor support has been included for the following vendor's alarm equipment and protocols: * adplex * adt - PollSelect - VariPoll * diebold * mdi * mosec (mosler) * gddb (Guang Dong Development Bank) - This protocol is similar to Burroughs Poll/Select The following example configuration shows how the ASPP MIB returns ASPP information, from either CISCO A or CISCO B. Security == ASP == Cisco == IP == Cisco == ASP == Alarm control A Network B Panel station The following entities are managed: 1) ASPP ports (serial interfaces) The ASPP ports are identified by the interface index, and additional information about this interface can be obtained from the Cisco Serial Interface MIB.
