Mediate Over 25 Protocols to Your Existing TL1 Master
If you are primarily using a TL1 master, you understand the difficulties of monitoring devices that communicate in other protocols. To maintain adequate visibility, you have to run multiple masters simultaneously, which means more screens to watch, more interfaces to learn, and a significant risk that you'll miss a critical alarm.
T/Mon provides the solution, offering you the capability to collect alarms in over 25 protocols and mediate them to your existing master as TL1 messages. Alternatively, since T/Mon can also interpret TL1 messages from network elements, you have the option of replacing your TL1 master with T/Mon and using it as your top-level monitoring platform.
