The SiteBoss 530 is a versatile, mid-range system used for monitoring and control of remote equipment sites. The S530 provides remote monitoring of serial devices, equipment I/O, and environmental conditions at these remote sites and forwards notification when conditions fall outside limits. On-board I/O provides serial, Ethernet, and dialup connectivity. The S530-2 and -6 models provide two or six Expansion slots respectively to allow addition of various communications and monitoring I/O interfaces that might be desired for your specific site application. For many years, Minnesota state agencies such as the State Police or the D.O.T. Operated their command and control structure over separate communications networks, often with little to no interoperability. The lack of a unified, scalable communications network that state agencies could use to coordinate their responses to emergencies was cited as a major target of reform by the Minnesota State Government. the ChAllenge The challenge facing the lawmakers was one of funding the replacement of an antiquated patchwork of communication networks with a secure, voice network that could grow along with the state’s transportation system. With the Federal communication commission’s mandate that all entities utilizing “wide-band” VHF and uHF systems move to “narrow-band” systems by 2013, the Minnesota State Legislature responded by funding an 800MHz P25 Trunked Radio communication System. The Office of Communications within MNDOT set out evaluating the state’s current systems and began design of the required additions to bring all state agencies together onto a common communications platform. Due to the high degree of importance placed on the reliability of an emergency communications network, one of the steps was to find a company with an established track record of delivering remote monitoring and control solutions to ensure that the network and its equipment would function properly. highlighteD feAtUres • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • In-band or out-of-band access to remote serial equipment Out-of-band access to remote network equipment Base unit supports 2 serial and 2 Ethernet ports 2 or 6 additional slots provide flexible expansion options Supports up to 16 serial ports for remote serial device management connect up to 16 remote EventSensor™ modules to add I/O ports.

The remote site monitoring solution Asentria delivered to MNDOT included the SNMP-link SL81 - and it’s successor, the SiteBoss 530. Featuring a cisco router at each tower site for connectivity, Asentria’s remote site monitoring solution sends polling and alarm traffic via SNMP across the network to a central NOC. This is then fed into an in-house NMS system. The Asentria unit’s powerful control capabilities allow personnel to remotely send commands to enable or disable power plants and relay switches; change equipment configuration parameters; connect remote users to restricted ports; collect, buffer and securely transfer data; and more. In addition, Asentria solutions have not only helped make MNDOT’s network more reliable by enabling it to keep track of environmental conditions that could potentially pose a threat to its remote equipment, but have also proven to be highly flexible and customizable.
