NetGuardian 480: Dense Alarm Coverage in a Single-box Solution

Save valuable rack space and generate more revenue: The NetGuardian 480 has 80 discrete point inputs-two and a half times the discrete alarms of the NetGuardian 832A. With this kind of capacity you can easily cover an entire, small, or medium-sized site with this one unit.

The NetGuardian 480 (NG480) is a specialized member of the NetGuardian family, optimized for use as a high-capacity discrete-only responder. The result is a highly cost-effective solution for gathering the diverse equipment at your remote site and integrating it into a single modern network management system. With 80 discrete alarm inputs - two and a half times as many as the NetGuardian 832A- you can easily forward all the alarms of a small to medium-sized site. This dense alarm coverage gives you the convenience of a single-box solution, saves you the cost of buying multiple low-capacity RTUs, and offers you the lowest possible cost per point.

Setup and configure your NetGuardian 480 with T/NG480 for Windows.

Easy Windows Configuration

The NG480 is designed for headache-free use. Configuring SNMP traps to report to multiple SNMP manager IP addresses is simple and quick using the included Windows-based T/NG480 utility.

T/NG480 also provides a single, uniform interface for all of the NG 480's functions. Field technicians can provision alarms, view the status of alarm points, turn control relays on and off, analyze communication traffic between the NG 480 and its alarm collection master, and load firmware upgrades by merely plugging a PC into the craft port on the NG 480's front panel. Once the site has been turned up, T/NG480 can be used by the network administrator over LAN to monitor alarms or change the configuration of the unit.

The NetGuardian 480 also has many other features to give you complete visibility and control of your remote site:

• Four control relays for operating backup equipment and security devices or rebooting remote equipment - which you can control directly from your SNMP manager.
• Front panel LEDs give immediate local visibility of alarm state and network status.
• User-defined alarm qualification times allow you to clearly distinguish momentary status changes from serious problems.
• An internal real-time clock creates accurate time-date stamps for SNMP traps and TL1 messages.

With its 80 discrete points, sophisticated SNMP and TL1 implementations, and easy configuration and setup, the NetGuardian 480 is the right combination of power, visibility, and simplicity in a cost-effective single
