RDS Encoder Check
Keep an eye on your RDS encoders
- 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 encoders are signalled via SNMP
- Monitor PI of all encoders 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 encoders.
- Runs smoothly in the background as a Windows service
- Tight integration with the OCTO IP Server and Router
Overview
The RDS Encoder 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 encoders.
