Project Overview:

• In a Multiplex there were about 23 Amplifiers linked to a switch and wanted to read data on BMS (Building Management System).

Initial Situation:

• Each of the Amplifier had 7 channels and each channel was connected to a speaker.
• Maintenance team initially controlled each amplifier manually.
• Amplifier was able to communicate on Telnet Protocol.
• Existing BMS supported SNMP Protocol.

Customer Requirement:

• Customer wanted to Monitor and Control the status (On / Off) of all the Amplifiers.

Solution Provided:

• ProtoConvert suggested a gateway which could communicate between Telnet and SNMP (v2c).
• All the Amplifiers, ProtoConvert Gateway and BMS were connected in a network with multiple switches.
• Amplifier was configured as Telnet Server while BMS was configured as SNMP Client.
• ProtoConvert configured a Gateway such that it could get the data on Telnet and Serve on SNMP.
• As both the protocols are Ethernet based, ProtoConvert configured the gateway in a way that it could communicate both the protocols on a single Ethernet port.

Result:

• As a result ProtoConvert displayed Amplifier’s status successfully on MIB Browser.
