OSGATE-700, "Black Box," can best be described as a Network Management Gateway. Through the use of innovative technology, OSGATE-700 integrates disparate devices (UPS, Alarm System, PABX, Environmental Control Systems) which currently provide proprietary and rudimentary control, into the network management environment. OSGATE-700 facilitates device integration by receiving and interpreting signals from networked and non-networked devices and translates the signals into industry standard network management protocols. Accessing and maintaining your field installed devices is now simple and cost-effective. The OSGATE-700 provides a gateway between proprietary devices and standard vendor network management systems, utilizes an Industry Standard SNMP interface and supports OSCOM International's SNMP MIBTool. Integration is facilitated via the high speed (100-400 Mb) Philips Inter-integrated Circuit Serial Bus (I^2 C). Both Input and Output Modules support the following devices via the I^2 C Bus:
Contact Closure, RS0232 Interface, Current Loop, GPIB, and Custom Development.
Connection to vendor Network Management Systems via LAN, WAN and point-to-point interfaces
The OSGATE-700 Management Application is integrated into Solstice SunNet Manager as well as several other leading SNMP Management Platforms. We are set to release the application on Solstice SunNet Manager , version 2.2. Both the hardware and software components are designed to be robust and extremely reliable in harsh operating environments. They are designed for unattended operation and automatic restart. Revised versions of OSGATE-700 software can be down-loaded over the LAN, allowing for quick upgrades from a central server. An installed version of OSGATE can be easily converted to perform a different mediation function by installing new software and/or adding various Input/Output Modules on the I^2 C Bus. Further, new SNMP agents may be created using OSCOM International's SNMP MIBTool.
