SNMP Network Monitoring Module

The ViaLite SNMP Network Monitoring Module is an IP network device that allows critical M&C data to be accessed over any Network Management System. This interface allows operators to monitor the entire installation from a single remote terminal.

The Network Module uses standard ViaLite module mechanics and therefore can be retrofitted into any existing ViaLite system. A single Network Monitor Module has the capability to monitor all modules in a second rack where required, making it a cost effective solution.

Implementation is simple, an engineer can quickly set up banks of ViaLite equipment by accessing the front panel LAN port on the SNMP module. This enables fast installation or reconfiguration of a fibre link network. Under normal operational conditions the module can be permanently connected to the users network and the health of the ViaLite network monitored at any time.

The built-in graphical user interface (GUI) offers a representation of the ViaLite modules connected in the ViaLite rack.  This interface can be accessed from any standard web browser using the IP address of the SNMP Network Monitoring Module.   The operational status of the RF modules and the power supplies of any rack connected is displayed.  The voltage and temperature of the SNMP module are also displayed.  This page can be used when installing and commissioning a new ViaLite rack or as a local monitor to test operation of ViaLite modules installed.

The open architecture of SNMP module’s MIB allows management of the alarm information using a range of third party management systems when connected via the local area network as part of the users  Monitoring & Control (M&C) system

The ViaLite SNMP network monitoring platform is designed to make the process of tracking network component performance straightforward and is an invaluable diagnostic and trouble shooting tool.
