Secure Remote IP Access with Asentria SiteBoss™ Units

SiteBoss 571
Security, while accessing equipment in remote locations, is a top priority in today's communication landscape. Asentria provides a full range of remote terminal units and software tools to allow Secure Remote IP Access, helping to reduce the operating costs of your communication network.
With access via internal GSM wireless modem, CDMA wireless modem, or standard Ethernet, a SiteBoss unit allows the connectivity to attached remote devices as if the user were at the site directly.

Asentria has a variety of products that have traditionally been referred to as Remote Terminal Units (RTU). An RTU traditionally has been a device that was a part of a communication network that would monitor contact closures, analog measurements, or perhaps perform some parsing and evaluation of a legacy protocol. In most cases today, this data is converted into the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is a commonly desired alarm format that many devices within a communication network can report on their status.
In existing equipment rooms, contact closures, analog points, and relays may often already be terminated to a legacy RTU type of device. One of the most common uses of Asentria products is to replace existing legacy RTU’s, such as a “Badger” device, to enable the transmission of alarms via a more modern alarm standard such as SNMP. Asentria products have great flexibility in providing various I/O counts, and can provide alarms in any standard SNMP format, as well as offer paging, SMS, and other more unusual alarm methods.
