Description
What’s a Net Dog? Just like watchdog timers give
computer operators assurance of operational integrity,
DPS’ Net Dog gives peace of mind to network managers.
With Net Dog on the job, you never have to worry
whether your 10BaseT network is down — Net Dog will
keep you posted. Anytime an element fails to respond to a
ping or if something is amiss with your environmental
controls, Net Dog will page you with a complete status
message.
In addition to paging and element manager reporting,
Net Dog will report relay status, discrete alarms and net-
work equipment failures on Ethernet using SNMP traps.
This lets your SNMP manager display the Net Dog’s find-
ings also.
Net Dog is programmed using any generic TTY termi-
nal. The easy-to-use menus enable you to quickly set up
your Net Dog with your pager number, point descriptions
and additional options. Programming can also be done
using your LAN or via dial-up modem. The entire config-
uration is saved on the Net Dog where it remains secure
through power outages in non-volatile RAM.
Status LEDs on the Net Dog give you a quick glance
indication of problems on site.
*Some of the mentioned applications require external
sensors.
Net Dog is easy to install, with connectors for all ports and
captive screw-lug terminals for alarm and control wiring.
Net Dog mounts on any vertical flat surface, or you can
just set it on top of your desk. Mounting panels are avail-
able for equipment rack mounting.
Net Dog firmware upgrades are now downloadable
from a file on disk or via e-mail.
