How This Application Works:
| Equipment Used: |

The Remote Alarm Block (RAB) 176N provides high-capacity alarm monitoring while retaining rack space for revenue-generating equipment, making it the ideal RTU for any site with many alarms and limited space. It can be mounted on the wall or in a placed in a rack with the supplied rack mounts. The RAB's standard wire wrap terminations for alarms inputs make the unit a natural fit for any telecommunications site where distribution frames are used.
The RAB 176N reports alarms as SNMP traps over UDP/IP, and supports alarm polling via DCP, DCPf, DCPx, or DCP1 over UDP/IP, TCP/IP OR RS232. Both the SNMP and DCP channels can operate at the same time, so the RAB can report alarms simultaneously to multiple SNMP managers and the T/Mon NOC Network Alarm Management System.
In addition to its 176 discrete alarm inputs, the RAB 176N has 4 control relays, 2 Form A and 2 Form C. Using the control relays, you can reboot remote devices, start backup equipment, and open security doors directly from the T/Mon NOC, saving expensive windshield time.
To reduce nuisance alarms, the RAB 176N features user-set alarm qualification times of 100 to 10,000 milliseconds. This will allow you to clearly distinguish momentary status changes from serious problems. The RAB 176N also supports an internal real-time clock, so date/time stamps in SNMP traps are always correct. Technicians can view the front LED’s for local alarm visibility.
Configuration is easy and trouble-free using T/RAB 176N Config, a Windows 2000/XP utility included free with your Remote Alarm Block. Using T/Config, a technician in the field can configure, provision, and turn up the unit, and also monitor alarm points, operate control relays, analyze communications traffic, and load firmware upgrades.
