Migrate to LAN Without Killing Your Budget

Installing LAN connections at remote sites is a significant cost - but you can spread if over several budget cycles through LAN migration. Here's how:

Step One: Install a LAN + Dial-Up/Serial RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit)

First, install an RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit) that supports both LAN and your existing dial-up or serial transport, like the NetGuardian 832A

Step Two: Install a LAN Connection

When it fits into your budget, install a LAN connection at the remote site. The same NetGuardian unit can be immediately switched to reporting over LAN with minimal configuration - and you don't have to rewire any alarms.

Gradually migrate different sections of your network to LAN, as your budget and installation manpower allows.

Benefits of LAN Migration

• Installation costs are spread over several budget cycles

• Buy just one RTU (Remote Telemetry Unit) for both LAN and legacy transport

• Deploy SCADA NOW at all your locations
