The One-Unit Solution to Integrating Legacy Equipment in Your Network Monitoring

Why You Don't Have to Throw Away Valuable Equipment

Your functioning legacy gear is a valuable investment, and you want to get the longest possible working life from it. The NetMediator 800 preserves your investment in TBOS and TABS remotes by mediating legacy protocols to SNMP and TL1.

Using the NetMediator to integrate your pre-existing TBOS and TABS equipment into modern LAN-based network monitoring offers substantial benefits:

• Save on equipment costs by using your existing equipment instead of replacing it.
• Save on infrastructure costs by collecting alarms using network bandwidth instead of expensive dedicated copper.
• Improve your network monitoring by using an integrated, single-platform solution.
