T/Mon MINI: Real-Time Visibilty of DPS RTUs

T/Mon MINI: Real-time visibility and powerful alarm processing, scaled to local/regional networks.

The new T/Mon MINI Remote Alarm Monitoring System puts control over your alarms directly into your hands. T/Mon MINI is unique version of the T/Mon Remote Alarm Monitoring System, scaled to the needs of small and medium networks that only need to monitor DPS RTUs.

Cost-effective and easy to install, T/Mon MINI puts high-quality, centralized management of DPS RTUs within the reach of any company.

You can use T/Mon MINI to:

• Monitor dozens of different models of DPS RTUs via LAN.
• Monitor up to 16 (expandable to 64) individual DPS RTUs
• Monitor up to 10,000 alarm points
• Ping network devices
• Consolidate alarms from several sites into a single local/regional network view
• Send automatic pager and email alarm notifications to technicians in the field
• Remotely access alarms via Web browser
• Maintain alarm history logs
• Analyze past alarms to identify network weak spots and anticipate future problems
• Use Derived Alarms to track complex network problems
• Use Derived Controls to program flexible automatic corrections for network problems
• Graph and Analyze Alarm History

T/Mon MINI gives you the advanced alarm monitoring capabilities of a full-scale T/Mon, at a scale suitable for managing your local or regional network.

T/Mon MINI is a new smaller-scale master station for networks with just a few sites. If you have dozens of sites rather than hundreds, T/Mon MINI may be right for you. MINI includes the same clean web interface as a full-scale T/Mon. You also get T/GFX mapping software.

The T/Mon MINI fits into any 19" or 23" rack, in any telco environment, without taking space from revenue generating equipment.

Applications
