SL81 MONITORS LEGACY EQUIPMENT AT UNMANNED SITES.

The Omnitronix SNMP-Link Model SL81 is a multi-purpose unit that is ideal for the management of unmanned sites that house non-SNMP enabled equipment such as power sources, old PBXs, batteries, aging telecom boxes, serial alarms, contact closures, and analog inputs. This versatile and expandable device detects alarm conditions at remote sites and monitors a host of environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. It also monitors any devices present that harness SNMP.

Compared to similar solutions, the SL81 is highly cost effective. Its price tag is affordable for small and mid-sized businesses, and one SL81 scales up to several hundred devices.

The SL81 is an excellent choice for serial alarms, on-board contact closure alarms, on-board temperature and humidity sensors, remote serial access and alarm notification/resolution. Using the SL81, network staff situated at head office can talk directly to serial devices at distant locations. Once an alarm condition is detected, for example, a technician can connect to the serial device to diagnose and correct the problem.

"By monitoring battery power using the SL81, we now have an eight hour window to take action before the battery run out," said Rich Allen, traffic administrator at the Matanuska Telephone Association, a phone company, cellular provider and Internet Service Provider (ISP) operating in the vicinity of Palmer, Alaska. "Without a doubt, we now offer improved service to our subscribers."
