The NetGuardian 216 SMS uses text message technology to transmit SNMP traps to your SNMP manager, or to your cellular device as alarms become active.


Key Features

  • 2 control relay outputs
  • 16 discrete alarm inputs
  • Web browser interface for easy remote monitoring and configuration
  • Reports alarms via GSM/CDMA network or LAN connection
  • Works with SMS Receiver to forward SMS Notifications as SNMP Traps

With SMS, you can send real-time alerts to your technicians, warning them of potential service outages or any other danger to reliable up-time. If your site doesn't currently have a mode of communication, or simply needs a mode of backup communication, the NetGuardian 216 SMS is an affordable option for monitoring remote sites.

The NetGuardian 216 SMS supports both CDMA and GSM, allowing you to bring your own SIM card with a real phone number and get notified of alarms right away. Paired with the SMS Receiver, you can send your SNMP Traps to your master station. The SMS Receiver is a flexible device that can accept both CDMA and GSM connections natively.

If you're looking for a backup communication method in case of LAN failure, the NetGuardian 216 SMS can switch to use SMS from LAN and is a great addition to your network monitoring system. With this intelligent switching, you also don't have to worry about duplicate or nuisance alarms. It's an effective way to stay in the know of what's going on at your remote sites.

The NetGuardian 216 SMS is an affordable option to monitor sites in your network because:

  • Wireless CDMA/GSM - Report alarms via SMS (plans starting at $2.35 per month), either direct to your mobile phone or to your alarm master via the SMS Receiver.
  • Right-size capacity for small sites: 16 discrete alarms, 2-8 analog inputs, 2 controls and 1 terminal server port.
  • No third-party data services required.
  • Reports alarms to your phone, any SNMP manager, or the T/Mon Remote Alarm Monitoring System.
  • Build options include back panel cellular modem, serial port, or POTS modem.
  • Reports to a lot of SNMP managers - great for reporting alarms to different departments.
  • 4-threshold analog monitoring (Major Over, Minor Over, Minor Under and Major Under).
  • Terminal server port for LAN access to switches, routers, PBXs and other serial-interface devices.
  • Intuitive Web Interface GUI (via LAN).
