Migration with legacy replacement

The NetGuardian is also the ideal RTU for controlled migration from legacy remotes.

The illustration shown here is based on the network configuration of a client who uses legacy Pulsecom Datalok RTUs to monitor old analog microwave radio sites. Before the client upgraded his network monitoring, the Dataloks reported to a legacy master.

New digital microwave sites were being added to the network. DPS Telecom designed a comprehensive legacy migration solution:

Upgrading is as easy as 1,2,3: Controlled migration path with T/Mon NOC and the NetGuardian

The old legacy master was replaced with a T/Mon system equipped with the Pulsecom Datalok Interrogator software module. The Pulsecom units now report directly to the T/Mon on an overhead channel on the analog microwave.

At the new digital microwave sites, NetGuardian 832A RTUs are installed. The NetGuardian's also report to the T/Mon via LAN over the digital radio.

If a Pulsecom unit breaks down, it's replaced with a new NetGuardian unit that can report over the same overhead channel the Pulsecom used.
