Whatever yourremote site monitoring needs are, you can meet them with the NetGuardian 832A. No other RTU provides so many tools to manage every component of your remote site.

The NetGuardian 832A monitors 32 discrete alarms and 8 analog alarms, pings 32 network elements, controls 8 relays, provides LAN reach through access to 8 serial ports, and reports via SNMP or DCPX, e-mail, or pagers.

1. Report Alarms via SNMP to multiple SNMP managers
   The NetGuardian offers high-capacity SNMP alarm collection, with support for 32 discrete alarms, 32 ping alarms, and 8 analog alarms. The NetGuardian can report to multiple SNMP managers at multiple IP addresses, making it the right fit for any network requirements.
2. NEBS Level 3 certification for carrier grade reliability
   NEBS certification ensures that the NetGuardian has undergone rigorous testing of electrical, magnetic, safety, and mechanical standards.
3. Monitor alarms without a master
   You don't need a master to monitor with the NetGuardian 832A. With its built-in Web Browser interface, you can easily access NetGuardian alarm data from any computer anywhere in your network.
4. Pager and email alarm notifications
   Let your NetGuardian 832A be your own 24-7 NOC. The NetGuardian can send you pager and email alarm notifications directly from your remote sites, with no master needed.
5. Connect and control remote site equipment with a built-in terminal server
   The NetGuardian 832A also acts as a terminal server for 8 serial ports, giving convenient LAN access to switches, routers, PBXs and more.
6. Installs for LAN and dial-up connections
   The NetGuardian supports both LAN and dial-up connections, so you can use the same remote for both LAN and non-LAN sites throughout your network. The NetGuardian is the ideal RTU for transitioning your sites to LAN.
7. Dial-up path provides LAN failure backup
   The NetGuardian supports both LAN and dial-up connections, giving you a built-in alternate data path. If there's a LAN failure, the NetGuardian can dial out to report, giving you continuous visibility of your remote sites.
