| MRV Products IR-9000 Series Console and Alarm Management  The In-Reach? 9000 (IR-9000) series of standalone Remote Presence management solutions from MRV Communications, Inc., offers console aggregation, high-density alarm, sensor monitoring and-when combined with the In-Reach 5100 (IR-5100) series-power management of remote devices, all in a single platform. The IR-9000 is designed for network, system and operations personnel who manage distributed networks and systems, who cannot afford the consequences of operational downtime and are being forced to reduce and control operations costs. By extending serial and console port access and facilitating alarm and power management capabilities over IP networks, the IR-9000 gives visibility and control from virtually anywhere. The IR-9000 enables administrators, systems and operations staff to gain remote access to a variety of network elements (NEs) such as UNIX servers, switches, CSU/DSUs, routers and multiplexers as well as other serial devices such as remote terminal units (RTUs). Additionally the IR-9000 can manage discrete alarm devices, monitor environmental conditions including temperature/humidity and pressure, and control remote assets such as aerial lighting, pumps, valves and power. The IR-9000 includes the industry's most comprehensive set of security features including per port password protection, RADIUS, Access Control Lists, SecureID, PPP, PAP/CHAP, PPP dial-back, on-board database, Secure Shell data encryption and others. As a result, centralized access to critical remote assets and data is made possible without compromising security. Geographically dispersed devices and systems can be configured and managed from a central network operations or control center, reducing costly on-site visits, service disruptions and skilled personnel requirements. The In-Reach 9000 series is the ideal secure remote presence solution for carriers, service providers and cable operators, as well as energy and utility providers. IR-9000 Product Details The IR-9000 series is an advanced model that incorporates all software features available in the IR-8000, including secure console and power control capabilities, along with the complete set of In-Reach alarm and sensor management capabilities. The IR-9000's software configurable ports provide the total flexibility required to control a variety of core network, discrete alarm and environmental sensor devices all with a single box. Additionally the IR-9000 supports the In-Reach master/slave concept available with its IR-7100 series of alarm and sensor products, enabling a solution that can manage well over 1000 alarms per unit. The IR-9000's unique flexibility enables it to meet today's console, alarm, sensor and power management needs with the capacity and scalability to address even the most demanding future needs. Access to the system is achieved via an extensive Command Line Interface (CLI) or via a user-friendly browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), making it simple and cost-effective to deploy. Editable parameter files and SNMP management enhance the product's ease of use and simple management. Key Capabilities Console, Alarm, Sensor and Power Management The In-Reach IR-9000 series products combine console aggregation, high-density alarm, sensor and power management functions all in one platform. Through secure serial device and console port access combined with alarm and power management over IP networks, these advanced servers provide complete visibility and control from virtually anywhere. When utilized in a master-slave configuration with the IR-7000 series, the IR-9000 provides extremely scaleable alarm, control output and analog sensor capabilities. The master/slave architecture can scale to support literally thousands of alarms and over 250 sensor and control relay sensor points. This same configuration can also support analog circuits to obtain real-time readings of devices such as fuel and pressure gauges. By providing remote connections to discrete alarms and control relays, the IR-9000 enables a few qualified individuals to monitor alarm and control devices from a central operations center. The IR-9000 also easily integrates with existing fault management systems (FMS) and operations support systems (OSS) via TL1 or SNMP. This increases accuracy of operations and visibility of remote conditions and events. For example, whenever a measured parameter changes beyond pre-set thresholds, an alarm signal is transmitted to an existing FMS or key personnel via SNMP, email or pager. Technicians can receive instant event messages or periodically monitor the environmental readings and perform remedial operations in response to any alarm conditions. The IR-9000 alarm and sensor points accept discrete input signals generated when contact closure devices such as aerial lights or door alarms state change . Ports can also be connected to temperature/humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity readings of remote sites. Control points can be software configured to activate devices such as generators or fire alarms in response to any alarm signal received. Additionally, up to 255 triggers and corresponding actions can be defined for unmanned automatic fault management of mission-critical applications using the self-healing feature. With the IR-9000 you can feel secure in your ability to gain remote visibility and control. |
