RDS Encoder Alive-Check
Keep an eye on your RDS Encoders
Overview
The RDS Encoder Alive-Check will help you to monitor your RDS encoder network, as it does provide an alive-check (heart beat) for every encoder; it will even reinitialize an encoder in case it does find an inconsistency in the encoder data. It is tightly integrated with the other 2wcom software products:
- Arcos Network can be used to provide the necessary encoder information
- The OCTO IP server is recommended to do the necessary routing to the encoder
Product highlights
- Failed alive checks are signalled in three different ways:
- SNMP trap
- Digital I/O modules
- Writing an entry to the Windows Event Log
- Monitor spare encoder takeover
- Active spare encoder are signalled via SNMP
- Monitor PI of all encoder for data consistency check
- In case of a wrong PI (e. g. when replacing an encoder with a brand new one) the encoder will get initialized with the data from Arcos Network used to set up the encoder.
- Runs smoothly in the background as a Windows service
- Tight integration with the OCTO IP Server and Router
