“Our Data-Link units allow us time to fix the problem or shut equipment down before the threshold where damage is likely to occur. Not knowing of high temperatures in our equipment rooms is a big deal. To avoid the loss of telephone service, the system’s ability to notify us of alarms is crucial.”

Asentria SNMP-Link™ SL10 inexpensively manages threats in remote equipment enclosures

SNMP-Link provides an inexpensive approach to monitoring and managing non-SNMP elements in remote equipment enclosures, enabling network managers to be alerted before adverse conditions threaten their networks.

Power sources, environmental conditions, non-networked and non-SNMP devices can all threaten a network. The SNMP-Link SL10 helps prevent unexpected, undiagnosed downtime due to these factors, which normally reside outside the scope of an SNMP network management system (NMS). Network managers can now integrate these elements that traditionally reside outside the realm of their NMS, without custom programming, to obtain inexpensive insurance for equipment closets, remote enclosures and other mission-critical, remote sites.

With six contact closure inputs, two output relays, a temperature sensor and an optional humidity sensor, the SL10 can integrate a variety of non-networked conditions into an NMS, while providing alarm notification via SNMP traps. Now network managers can monitor backup power, electronic equipment, door contacts, air conditioning units, water sensors, smoke detectors and a variety of other devices. The output relays activate lights, cameras, HVAC systems, sirens and other devices. Temperature and humidity sensors can be used to prevent threatening conditions such as condensation or overheating.

Telecom users who have equipment functioning in -48VDC environments will appreciate the power output function of the SL10, which converts -48VDC to a DC current that will drive routers, hubs or other low-powered network components. That means users do not need to buy the more costly -48VDC powered network components for their telecom closets.

SNMP Traps can be transmitted via network to your existing SNMP management system, or to AlarmManager™ software provided free by Asentria. Or you can query the 80 MIB object IDs for a more proactive SNMP-based monitoring system.
