SEATTLE, Oct 02, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Asentria, a leading provider of remote site monitoring and telemanagement solutions, today introduced the TeleBoss series of telecom site controllers designed to address the monitoring challenges presented by remote voice and data systems. The TeleBoss product line provides powerful, flexible and cost-effective choices for PBX vendors, call accounting service bureaus, managed service providers and enterprise managers who need to securely monitor, access, control and collect data from voice and data infrastructure located in remote customer premises.

"With the complex mix of legacy and newer IP-based systems managing remote voice equipment today is a challenge," says Tim Stoner, founder and CEO of Asentria.

"Companies that provide managed services to corporate customers must be able to monitor remote factors that can have an affect on uptime, and correct situations proactively before a failure occurs. Also, corporate customers need to control and simplify secure access to third-party service providers, while at the same time eliminating multiple costly management devices." The TeleBoss series includes a range of low-end to high-end stand-alone monitoring hardware devices that are deployed at remote sites where monitoring and management are required. The controllers are scalable and economical, easy to set up and use, and provide a variety of secure options for in-band and out-of-band remote access. TeleBoss offers a powerful set of versatile and intelligent monitoring and control features that enable users to immediately detect and react to potential threats at remote customer sites to prevent downtime. Key features include: -- The TeleBoss products collect and store text-based event records from telecom devices such as PBXs, Voicemail systems, ACDs and other similar devices.

Typically, these records are collected via the device serial port, but Asentria provides the industry's first and most extensive support for IP Record Collection(TM) (IPRC) - the ability to query your IP PBX for data via a network connection.

-- Beyond serial and IP-based PBX monitoring, monitoring demands can also take the form of interrogating co-located network and communication devices using various standard or device-specific protocols. While traditional remote monitoring devices are inadequate to meet these new needs, advanced TeleBoss products feature the ability to monitor these protocols using both built-in dedicated features and/or customized device interrogation using built-in scripting capabilities.

-- By consolidating diverse alarm types into one device and applying business rules through TeleBoss' flexible scripting capability, users can rapidly identify and fix critical issues before they become problems.

-- TeleBoss simplifies the task of monitoring diverse physical elements and forwarding alarms via e-mail, pager, and SNMP traps to central network management systems. Physical conditions can include intrusion, temperature, water, battery conditions and more.

-- TeleBoss enables service providers to remotely send commands to enable or disable power systems or manage devices in myriad ways. This can include power systems and control transceivers, servers, routers, A/C power and more.

-- Integrates with Asentria SitePath(TM) Administration Portal to provide a unified single point of access and management of TeleBoss Controllers deployed throughout the enterprise. This enables secure and easy access and delivery of alarm information.
