Overview

The KDA 864-SNMP brings conventional discrete alarm and control points to your existing SNMP management system, using your already deployed 10 Base-T network.

The KDA 864-SNMP consists of a time-stamp KDA864 Alarm and Control Remote and a Network Interface Adapter (NIA) card that fits in the expansion card slot to interface it directly to an Ethernet 10 Base-T network using SNMP protocol.

The KDA remote is able to deal with the multitude of monitoring requirements at remote telecom sites - environmental status, battery plant voltages, security, switch alarms, transmission equipment, tower lights, outside plant status - be it a small hut or an entire central office.

DPS’ KDA and NIA card brings flexibility and intelligence to your Network Management System. Flexible to handle today’s needs and intelligent enough to fulfill future demands.

Flexible
The NIA card can be mounted in the expansion card slot of the KDA host or it can be located in its own housing near to the KDA host.

The host KDA’s alarm inputs are optically isolated, polarity reversible. Control outputs are relay isolated. Magnetic-latching relays are optional.

The host KDA must be equipped with an RS232 docking pad on the primary port in order to interface the NIA card’s collection port. The NIA card communicates with the network using an 802.3 10-BaseT Ethernet transport. An alternate path routing function can be accommodated via a dialup port on the NIA card, using Ethernet SLIP/PPP.

Front panel LEDs show unit activity and alarm conditions. A visual fuse alarm indicator is included.

The host KDA with NIA card features plug-in PC boards in a fixed-mount housing with a connectorized backplane.

DPS's KDA 864-E2 now brings flexibility and intelligence to your E-System Monitoring Network. Flexible to handle today's needs and intelligent enough to fulfill future demands.

Intelligent
Personnel can use T/KDA software on a personal computer at the front panel craft port for local configuration or full interactive monitoring. The software includes the MIB (Management Information Base) and TDF (Trap Definition File).

T/KDA software includes a protocol analyzer.

Network Architecture

A KDA equipped with an NIA card reports alarms over an Ethernet 10 Base-T facility to an SNMP manager. Optional alternate path reporting is via dial-up circuits to an SNMP manager.

The KDA 864-SNMP has been tested and is known to be compatible with the following SNMP managers: Hewlett-Packard Open View for Windows, Open View for Unix, Open View for Windows 95, Open View for Windows NT, SNMPC for Windows and Net Expert.

Routing Option: Alternate Path Routing Assures Alarms are Transported During Network Outages.
