NetGuardian-16S — Proven Hardware and Software, New and Expanded Capabilities
The NetGuardian-16S is a multifunction, high capacity, NEBS-certified, LAN-based, SNMP/DCPx remote
telemetry unit. The NetGuardian-16S is based on the proven hardware and software capabilities of DPS
Telecom's popular NetGuardian-16S 832A RTU, but the NetGuardian-16S adds greatly expanded functionality.
The NetGuardian-16S incorporates many functions that previously required several separate units, while
occupying only 1 RU on any standard 19" or 23" equipment rack, freeing valuable rack space for
revenue-generating equipment.
The NetGuardian-16S features:
· Built-in Web Interface: monitor your alarms from any computer, without an alarm master
· Two separate IP addresses for security: one IP address for private company LAN access, and a second IP
address for public Internet access
·
Voice Call Out for reporting alarms via telephone call
·
Integrated Building Status Unit for local alarm visibility
32 reversible discrete alarm inputs (expandable to 176 alarm points by adding NetGuardian-16S DX
·
Expansion Units)
16 reach-through serial ports with terminal server functionality for connecting multiple concurrent
·
users via Telnet over LAN to telecom switches, servers, radios, PBXs and other equipment
· 8 programmable NO/NC control relays (expandable to 32 by adding NetGuardian-16S DX Expansion
Units)
· 32 ping alarms
· Automatic 24/7 email and pager alarm notification
· Alarm reporting to any SNMP manager or the T/Mon NOC Alarm Monitoring System
· Backup dial-up alarm reporting
· Dual –48 VDC power inputs

Dual IP address security model for safe public access
For enhanced security, the NetGuardian-16S has two separate IP addresses on separate subnets. This allows you
to safely connect the NetGuardian-16S to both your private company LAN and the public Internet. Since the
public IP address is on a separate subnet, users from the outside cannot connect to your company LAN.
Connect via LAN to telecom switches, servers, radios and more
The NetGuardian-16S's 16 reach-through serial ports provide LAN-based terminal server access to up to 16 serial
devices Multiple users can simultaneously connect to the NetGuardian-16S via Telnet over LAN to connect and
control telecom switches, servers, radios, multiplexers, PBXs and many other types of remote site equipment.
NEBS-compliant for guaranteed reliability
The NetGuardian-16S is compliant with NEBS Level 3 electrical, environmental and safety standards.
