Each Telemetry Port can connect to the monitored device via one of several available physical interfaces.

  • Page 11: Com2 Connector

    (telemetry ports) can be connected, with different bus addresses assigned to them. This is 5V bus. Ethernet DB2003 comes with an RJ45 connector for an Ethernet Internet connection. The main interaction between man and machine is through the WEB-based interface. Through a WEB browser, the device can be accessed, monitored and set up from your computer, tablet or smartphone.

  • Page 12: Monitored Devices

    • automatic control of the monitored device by a set schedule – change of power. DAYPARTS DB2003 allows users to set up a weekly schedule to manage the power of the monitored device. Not all monitored device series can be managed. This functionality is available for PTX_LCD, PTX_ LCDDSP, PTX_DDS ,TEX_LCD, Blues, Plug-in KPS-CA and Barracuda.

  • Page 13: Alarms

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com ALARMS DB2003 allows you to set a value threshold for some of the monitored signals. If a value stays beyond that threshold for a certain amount of time, an alarm event notification is sent. The notification can be made in one way or in a combination of ways: E-mail, SNMP trap, SMS or GPO activation.

  • Page 14: Device Settings

    There are two levels of login rights to the DB2003: as admin or as user. These are default usernames, which can be changed. Each of them has its own password for access. Admin has full access to the device and can remotely manage the monitored devices.

  • Page 15: General Settings And Device Status

    GENERAL SETTINGS AND DEVICE STATUS Alias – helps the user recognize the device. Timezone – setting the correct value will allow automatic setting of DB2003’s time in accordance with its location. Admin Name and Admin Password – Admin access credentials. Default values are admin and pass.

  • Page 16: Network Settings And Status

    The SNMP Agent section allows you to Enable/Disable agent, change agent and manager ports and set manager address (SNMP trap receiver). The DB2003 uses SNMP version 2 – the Read/Write community is similar to a password for read/write access. Use the agent ID to distinguish between multiple agents in one trap receiver.

  • Page 17: E-Mail

    To receive alarm event notifications by email, you must specify the receiver’s address. You can set one or two receiver addresses. In order for the notifications to be received, the DB2003 requires an email server to re-direct them. There are two options here: 1.

  • Page 18: Sntp Client

    You can also specify another time server. GSM MODEM To receive an SMS as an alarm notification, you must connect a GSM Modem to the DB2003. The modem has to have an active SIM card, with the PIN code protection disabled. Set the GSM Modem to COM1 to enable communication.

  • Page 19: General-Purpose Outputs

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com GENERAL-PURPOSE OUTPUTS DB2003 has three general purpose outputs: GPO1, GPO2 and GPO3. They have identical functionality and are hereinafter to be referred to as GPO’s. Each GPO is the TLV817 optocoupler photo transistor collector (NPN transistor, Vce = 30V max, Ic = 20mA max). Each of the three emitters is connected to common ground.

  • Page 20: Ping Watchdog

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com PING WATCHDOG You must enter an address to which the DB2003 must send a ping at certain intervals. When the set number of unsuccessful attempts is reached, the selected GPO is activated. A GPO is generally of the pulse type and cuts the power supply to the controlled device, causing a reboot.

This Guide is to designate each port with the phrase Telemetry Port. The Dayparting function is not available for all monitored device series and may therefore not be displayed on the settings screen.

  • Page 25: General

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com GENERAL In this group of settings, you have to specify the device the DB2003 is to monitor/control and how to connect to it. Setting an Alias allows the user to recognize the different monitored devices. This is where you enable/disable the port.

  • Page 26: Port Log

    The port logs data is extracted from the DB2003 and visualized in an appropriate way via specialized software. In order for the software to work, the FTP server of the DB2003 must be enabled.

  • Page 27: Dayparting

    Nominal or Lower Power is selected via Selected Power, while at the same time the values of the two levels must match the ones set in Dayparts. The DB2003 sends commands to control the power but does not change the On-Air status.

  • Page 28: Alarms

    E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com ALARMS DB2003 allows you to set a threshold for the values of some of the monitored signals. When the threshold is passed and this continues for a certain amount of time, an alarm event notification is sent.
