Whether you're new to our equipment or you've used it for years, DPS factory training is the best way to get more from your monitoring.
Reserve Your Seat TodayA T1 RTU is a Remote Telemetry Unit that can communicate over a T1 connection instead of being completely reliant on Ethernet availability. This capability has the potential to radically improve your visibility of remote sites that are currently outside the reach of your LAN and expand your Remote Alarm Monitoring and Control system.
Historically, you were forced to use dedicated point-to-point units to provide LAN to your remote sites. With a finite amount of rack space and a limited budget, it just isn't feasible to create visibility at small sites outside of your LAN with traditional equipment. With a T1 RTU, however, you get this capability (along with monitoring and routing) in a single box. This saves rack space and eliminates the headache of dealing with multiple vendors and multiple support teams. DPS Telecom's NetGuardian 216T was built specifically for this scenario: one compact unit that handles T1 transport, RTU monitoring, and terminal server access without requiring separate purchases.
You do need to be careful, though, before making a purchase decision. To avoid a very costly mistake, use the following list:
These aren't trick questions. The NetGuardian 216T and NetGuardian 240T are designed to answer yes to each of them, including wide-temperature tolerance, integrated workgroup switching to deliver LAN to other site devices, SNMP trap support over T1, and native Ethernet support for when your network eventually reaches those sites.
