Protocol Mediation Options: NetGuardian and NetMediator

T/Mon NOC is a large-scale protocol mediation solution. But if you need protocol mediation on a smaller, less complex scale, you might be interested in the NetGuardian and NetMediator.
These RTU-sized, remote site devices are just right for simple protocol mediation applications.

The NetGuardian 832A is a full-featured SNMP RTU, or proxy agent device, which mediates contact closures and analog voltages to SNMP traps. The NetGuardian supports 32 discrete inputs,
32 ping alarms, 8 analog inputs, 8 controls, and 8 serial reach-through ports, and it reports to multiple SNMP managers and T/Mon NOC.

The NetMediator has all the RTU capabilities of the NetGuardian - plus, it mediates inputs from other devices to SNMP. The NetMediator isn't a general protocol mediator like T/Mon; it's a small, dedicated platform for mediating one protocol to SNMP. A new NetMediator design can be custom-tailored for your specific monitoring needs; off the shelf, there are NetMediator models for mediating TBOS and TABS to SNMP.

Which of these options is right for your network? It all depends on your specific applications and needs. Before you decide, get some expert advice.
