NetGuardian Q8: Overview

NetGuardian Q8 - Designed specifically for your Quantar TM
The NetGuardian-Q8 has everything
you need to monitor your Quantar™.

The NetGuardian-Q8: Effective Monitoring of Your Quantar™ frame


The NetGuardian-Q8 is an SNMP-based alarm collection device, designed for clean integration of monitoring for the Quantar™.

The NetGuardian-Q8 supports up to 8 alarms standard (10 alarms with available order option) that are brought in through the 50-pin connector on the rear of the unit. The primary function of the NetGuardian-Q8 is to collect these alarms and convert them to SNMP. Because the unit has individual LEDs for each alarm point as well, you get the added bonus of local alarm monitoring on the rear of the radio.

The voltage that powers the unit also comes through the 50-pin connector and is protected by its own fuse. This way you will have alarm monitoring as long as the radio is powered.

Match this with an Ethernet connection for Web and Telnet access and a craft port for quick and easy diagnostics and monitoring, and you've got huge monitoring power in a very small package.

This unique design means the NetGuardian-Q8 takes up no additional rack space.
The NetGuardian-Q8 mounts cleanly inside your radios.
  • Easy installation and integration with the Quantar™
  • Turns your Modbus radios into powerful SNMP remotes
  • Radio is used to power the unit - No addition power source needed
  • Takes up zero rack space
  • TTY interface for provisioning of alarms
  • Integrated web browser for monitoring incoming alarms

66 block

66 block

A 66 block is a simple way to use wire-wrap connections with DPS RTUs. When telcos really want connections to stay in place, they use wire wrap. You'll simply punch down your alarm, analog, and/or control relay wiring to the 66 block, then connect the 66 block to the RTU using a standard amphenol cable (also available from DPS).
