Overview of The Trap Relay 64

The Trap Relay offers an affordable, yet valuable solution for linking incoming SNMP traps to relay outputs. Normally, SNMP traps are sent from an RTU to an SNMP Manager. However, this device takes a different approach - it receives inbound SNMP traps and uses that information to activate or release one of its control relays. The Trap Relay can identify traps based on IP address, Trap ID, or an additional variable binding.

With 64 relays, you can remotely control any device that you'd typically operate with a button or switch. The relays respond to incoming commands by latching or releasing a contact closure. This makes them ideal for powering small devices, unlocking doors, integrating with legacy alarm systems, activating visual/audible alerts, and rebooting unresponsive equipment.

Mediate and process inbound SNMP traps with the Trap Relay 64.

The Trap Relay RTU can be set to operate in one of two modes:

• Granular Mode - This mode lets you configure each relay to activate or release based on the enterprise, generic-trap, and specific-trap data of an SNMP v1 trap, or the trap OID of an SNMP v2c trap.
• Cisco-VMS Mode - In this mode, the unit ignores individual relay trap configurations and instead operates relays momentarily when it receives certain VMS 6.3 SNMP traps. A relay will activate only if its description matches the mediaStreamName value in the VMS trap.

Trap 48RA

Trap 48RA - Medium Capacity Option.

The Trap 48RA is a powerful device designed to control up to 48 relays and 16 audio outputs based on incoming SNMP trap data. Much like the Trap Relay 64, this device supports two operational modes for trap processing:

1. Granular Mode - Allows precise configuration of each relay to activate or release based on SNMP v1 enterprise, generic-trap, and specific-trap details, or the SNMP v2c trap OID. Users can further refine trap responses with optional variable bindings.
2. Cisco-VMS Mode - Overrides individual relay settings and momentarily activates relays when receiving specific VMS 6.3 SNMP traps, including mediaStreamDeviceUnreachable, mediaStreamConnectionLoss, or mediaStreamConfigFailure. A relay will only trigger if its description matches the mediaStreamName value in the VMS trap.

Built for telecom environments, the Trap 48RA features a rugged aluminum chassis and requires 2U of rack space for installation.

• Process inbound SNMP traps (64, 48 or 32 traps, depending on build option).

• Ping targets (32 or 64, depending on build option).

• Easy-to-use web interface.

• Dual A/B -48VDC power inputs.

• Two connector options - pluggable or amphenol.

• Telco-grade durability.

Control alarms and notifications for the Trap Relay 64 through the intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI). The interface is web-based, so no install is required. Just enter the IP address of your TR64 into your web browser.

With the Trap Relay 64's web-based GUI, you can manage your control relays with ease. This step is only needed when adding/changing new devices. You'll give each relay a label for reference.

Applications

The Trap Relay 64 features 64 control relays and is capable of processing and mediating SNMP traps. This brings SNMP equipment into virtually any other monitoring system. Conversion to control relays also provides a secure bridge for military and other high-security applications.

The Trap Relay products from DPS map SNMP traps to relay outputs. This is a great solution for improved coverage of SNMP at remote sites where LAN is unavailable.

Get to Know a Newer RTU Model: The NetGuardian 832 G5

If you're looking to equip your remote sites with monitoring technology that will keep up with your network, you don't have to look any further. The NetGuardian 832A G5 boasts several enhancements from previous NetGuardian models - which include advanced hardware, increased processing speed, and enhanced security options.

The NetGuardian 832A comes with 8 control relays, 8 analog inputs, and 32 discrete alarm inputs. These are handy for monitoring all of your important discrete and analog alarm points. The RTU is also packed with 32 ping alarm inputs and dual NICs. You also get a 10/100 switch (which is optional) and your choice of power-input voltages. This allows you to customize your RTU to meet the needs of your remote sites.
