Solution: NetGuardian 832A, the flexible RTU that handles all your transports
With the NetGuardian 832A, multiple transports are no problem. This flexible RTU supports three kinds of trans-
port: LAN, dial-up and optional serial connection for 202 modem, FSK modem, or RS-232. The NetGuardian can
work with whatever transport is available at your remote sites.
Networks that are in transition arent a problem for the NetGuardian either. The NetGuardian supports LAN, dial-
up and serial connections simultaneously. So as your network upgrades from legacy transports to LAN, you can
use the same NetGuardian units at all your sites.

Remote Site
With Serial Tranport
The NetGuardian can report over 202, FSK, or RS-232 directly to T/Mon NOC, or over RS-232 or dial-up to a
PPP server.
Serial transport with dial-up backup
The NetGuardian supports LAN and dial-up transport as standard, but you can also order your NetGuardian with
an optional 202 modem, FSK modem, or RS-232 interface.
With these interfaces you can support dedicated circuits over copper or fiber and analog channels over analog or
digital radio.
With serial transport, you will most likely report alarms over DCPx protocol to the T/Mon NOC Remote Alarm
Monitoring System but the NetGuardian can send SNMP traps via PPP over RS-232.
Even if youre using a serial connection as your primary alarm reporting channel, the NetGuardians dial-up
modem can be a useful backup data path. If anything goes wrong with the serial connection, you can still receive
alarms via dial-up reporting.

Alarm Collection
If only dial-up connections are available, the NetGuardian can report alarms via its internal 33.6K modem.
Dial-up only
If your remote sites are distant from both LAN and serial networks, the NetGuardian can report alarms over its
dial-up modem. Since dial-up connections can be expensive, the NetGuardian will only dial out when it has an
alarm to report.
The NetGuardian can report directly to T/Mon NOC using dial-up connections or, as shown in the diagram, the
NetGuardian can initiate a dial-up connection to a PPP server to report SNMP traps over LAN.

Migration
The NetGuardian is the ideal RTU for networks in transition. If you need to install network alarm monitoring now,
but you know your data transport is going to change, the NetGuardian is the right choice. You can use one remote
now and far into the future, without having to pay twice for the same capabilities.
In the diagram shown, the NetGuardian first supports serial or dial-up connection. Then when LAN is installed at
the site, all you have to do is plug a standard Ethernet cable into the NetGuardians standard 10BaseT port.
You can then turn the serial channel down, or maintain the dial-up connection as a backup data path.

Bridging
The NetGuardian also serves well in complex networks, where different transports are available at different sites.
A client had a LAN connection available between his T/Mon master and most of his NetGuardian RTUs. But there
were also segments of his network where only serial connections were available.
In the illustration shown of this clients application, one NetGuardian is configured as a bridge to sites with serial
transport. NetGuardians at remote sites are linked via serial connection to the bridge NetGuardians serial ports.
The bridge NetGuardian collects alarms from the serial RTUs and reports via LAN to T/Mon NOC and/or an
SNMP manager.
