T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

FX 8800 Interrogator Module

The FX 8800 Interrogator software module provides support for the

ADC Fibermux MAGNUM 100 fiber optic terminals, supporting

point to point as well as ring applications. Once the MAGNUM 100

alarm information is on the T/MonXM platform alarm information

can be converted to any of the available protocols supported.

TABS Interrogator/Responder S/W (Multi-port)

Enables the T/MonXM to either interrogate or respond the TABS

protocol on multiple T/MonXM ports. The TABS subset implement-

ed is the Alarm Surveillance & Control section (AS&C) of AT&T

compatibility bulletin #149.

Pulsecom Datalok™ Module

Allows T/MonXM to support the Pulsecom Datalok 10 Series

remote telemetry units. This includes: 10, 10L, 10A, 10A micro,

10D, 10D micro and 10X. The support includes the ability to con-

figure those remote units that are downloadable. Support also

includes: Analogs, Controls (Momentaries, latched, SBOs) and

point Lockout. DPS Telecom does provide a separate database con-

version service to facilitate migration to the T/Mon platform from

the aging PDP 11 master.

TL1 Combiner Modules

The TL1 Combiner Modules provide filtering and Flow Control For

TL1 Combiner Multiple Incoming TL1 Channels. They support the

RS232, RS422/485 communication boards.

TL1 Responder Modules

The TL1 Responder Modules convert T/Mon alarms into TL1. They

support autonomous messages as well as various retrieve com-

mands. TL1 controls will be forwarded to the proper device. User

may define TL1 attributes on a per alarm basis. (Requires 8

Megabytes of main-board memory on monitoring platform).

X.25/ASCII Interrogator Software Module -with X.25 card

Provides standard ASCII alarm monitoring functions over multiple

PVCs on a single X.25 card (included). Each PVC may have its

own ASCII rules and is processed independent of other PVCs.

ASCII MUX Software Module

This module enables all direct connect ASCII ports on T/MonXM to

have the ability to connect to the DPS 8-Channel MUX. This means

that if the T/MonXM workstation already has a single port ASCII

interrogator, up to 8 ASCII devices can be connected to that port by

using this software module along with the 8-Channel MUX. This is

ideal for processing data from a large quantity of ASCII devices

without large port allocation requirements. NOTE: Only ONE

ASCII MUX software module is required regardless of how many 8

channel MUXs are used.

Remote Access Modules

These modules give T/MonXM the ability to have additional users

independently access the system via LAN, modem or direct connec-
