Green ESP for Network Monitoring
Dantel, Inc., the leader in network surveillance and management systems, today announced its Green ESP (Extra Sensory Protection) solutions, providing operational efficiency monitoring for communications networks including data centers, central offices and remote cabinets. Dantel’s Green ESP solutions ensure sustained optimal levels for reducing energy costs and environmental footprints of heating, cooling, airflow and power which can lead to annual realized savings of thousands of dollars per site.
Dantel has long provided innovative monitoring solutions for improving network reliability. The company’s Green ESP utilizes an array of sensory/telemetric inputs strategically positioned throughout a site to continuously monitor and report changes in environment. Part of an overall Power Utilization Effectiveness (PUE) approach, Dantel’s Green ESP solutions keep sites running efficiently at a fraction of the cost.
“Green ESP provides the ability for our clients to improve and sustain better power efficiencies,” says Frank Martinez, VP of Western Sales for Dantel. “It makes perfect sense; better efficiencies lead to lower operating costs and smaller carbon footprints.”
Green ESP monitors key areas such as power, cooling and internal/external environmental factors for maximizing efficiencies. Beyond data centers and central offices, the hardened components of Green ESP are positioned in remote cabinet environments for Outside Plant (OSP) applications where event/environmental detection and power efficiencies are critical.
Dantel’s WebMon Edge is a key component of the Green ESP solution providing discrete and analog inputs as well as integrated temperature and humidity sensors. In addition, the Edge supports a variety of external sensors such as voltage, current, humidity, temperature, fluid leak, hazardous gas, pressure and more.
“Our WebMon Edge provides both in band and out of band monitoring capabilities making it ideal for operating in expanded discrete or environmental applications,” adds Martinez. “The WebMon Edge continues to emerge as the premier remote site monitoring solution for all application regardless of location.” The Edge supports SNMP (v1, v2c and v3), TL1, DCPF and others via T1, Ethernet, fiber, wireless, or wire-line facilities. The Edge requires very little power and operates in an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 85C (-40 to 185F). The Edge supports trending for all analog inputs and can be mounted on any flat surface or relay rack.
From Country Roads to Broadband Super Highways Dantel Transforms Alarm Networks – One Circuit at a Time
Fresno, Calif. – July 29, 2009
Dantel, Inc., the leader in network surveillance and management systems, today announced the launch of its Analog to IP conversion solutions, now providing several innovative upgrade kits for transitioning from Analog to IP alarm networks. “Imagine the ability to instantly jump from a country road to a worldwide superhighway with access to anywhere. That is essentially what Dantel provides with its integrated IP solutions,” said Frank Martinez, Vice President Sales Western Region. “Dantel recognizes the challenges of updating alarm networks when faced with tight capital, limited personnel, and high maintenance costs, so we have expanded our analog to IP solutions to specifically leverage companies’ investments in existing alarm systems and seamlessly transition from legacy analog networks to newer more reliable TCP/IP networks.”
In the early years of alarm monitoring many alarm networks were built on older types of analog technologies. These networks require a much higher maintenance cycle and are sensitive to noise as well as other external factors. Today many of these analog networks are still in use. Over the years the ability to support these networks has been greatly diminished because of a decreasing number of subject matter experts. Dantel IP solutions provide a smooth transition from legacy networks to IP based technology.
One of Dantel’s most innovative IP solutions is the Analog to IP conversion kit which utilizes its WebMon Matrix and integrated IP interface. This IP solution transports E2A protocol alarm data in these analog networks over IP. It creates an IP network that allows uninterrupted communication of this alarm data. All communication is pass-through to and from the Network Operations Center (NOC) and remote sites.
“Dantel offers a host of IP based solutions reporting TL1 and SNMP alarm data, now with E2A over IP providing clients the performance and flexibility associated with TCP/IP without changing their existing alarm equipment. . “The best part of our solution is it is transparent to both the NMA and remote devices,” adds Martinez.”In addition, when using our integrated IP subassembly there is no additional rack space required.”
The high density Host WebMon Matrix connects to the remote sites and creates the IP network. Dantel IP solutions provide key turn-up and troubleshooting capabilities including a Front Panel LCD screen, LED indicators, Web Browser and command line interfaces, as well as FTP and other IP related attributes.
At remote sites the WebMon Matrix can also be positioned to interface Dantel or non-Dantel alarm systems. When a Dantel 460 system is present, Dantel offers its IP interface that directly replaces its existing analog interface. This innovative IP solution is integrated in the 460 ACS systems itself, meaning no additional rack space is required. This means no associated cost of purchasing, installing and managing an additional device.

The Top Predator of Critical Network Affecting Events – Dantel´s PointMaster Eagle Continues to Adapt
Fresno, Calif. – July 22, 2009
Dantel, Inc., the leader in network surveillance and management systems, continues to adapt PointMaster Eagle for key surveillance applications. For years the Eagle has been an integral part of monitoring communication networks nationwide and its ability to adapt to various configurations makes it ideal to use in any deployment scenario.
A proven and trusted solution, the Eagle is standard with all Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCS), operating in thousands of central offices in many different applications. PointMaster is currently in use monitoring critical networks for the United States Air Defense System.
The Eagle can be used as a standalone system or to add alarm capacity to existing Dantel460 Alarm & Control Systems (ACS). It works for similar expansion of other non-Dantel systems easily interfacing with IP based networks and legacy networks as well. Available wiring options make it a seamless replacement solution for non-Dantel alarm systems as well as Dantel Alarm Block (Smart Blocks) and Scan & Control (Scanner) systems.
“It is amazing how many applications we can address with the Eagle. PointMaster easily upgrades some of our discontinued systems like Smart Blocks and Scanners or replace other vendor´s equipment,” said Frank Martinez of Dantel. “Our clients are extremely pleased with the choices we offer to make their job easier–practically a plug and play solution that leverages existing wiring. We provide many ways to get to an Eagle including retrofits and upgrade kits.” Dantel´s PointMaster Eagle is the top predator of network alarms with proven reliability. Among its key features:
- Web Browser, SNMP/IP, TL1/IP, DCPF, TABS, TBOS
- 5 sizes – 64 to 256 inputs and 4 to 32 control outputs
- Simultaneous communications over serial and IP interfaces
- Multiple mounting options, small form factor and Telcordia NEBs 3 Certified
Eagle Solutions include:
- Eagle Standalone – Reports to Network Operations Center directly in TL1 or SNMP via IP.
- 460 ACS Expansion – expands alarm capabilities for our original 460 equipment in new or existing applications.
- Eagle Smart Adapter Kit (ESAK) – Replaces Dantel Smart Blocks, uses existing wiring, and installs in minutes.
