The Phoenix Broadband Technologies PBT-PA-2 PowerAgent is
a special purpose status monitoring agent that allows a Cable
TV network power supply to be remotely monitored and
controlled using a cable modem. .
The PowerAgent interfaces to the cable modem via an ethemet
connection, and to the monitored power supply via a flexible
and configurable interface. The PowerAgent has two separate
monitoring interfaces built-in: A multi-wire analog/digital interface
and an RS-485 serial interface for use with newer generation
power supplies that support the ANSI/SCfE 25-3 2002
(HMS-022) serial monitoring standard.
The PowerAgent has a built-in SNMP proxy, a built-in web
server, and a built-in SMTP mail client. The SNMP proxy supports
SNMP standard and HMS MIBs making the PowerAgent
compatible with virtually any management system. HMS traps
are generated based on alarm conditions defined using the HMS
property MIB.
The built-in web server allows the status of the monitored
supply to be analyzed from anywhere in the network using a
common web browser. The PowerAgent is compatible with
several popular brands of UPS power supplies merely by using
the correct interface wire harness, and in some cases
downloading new firmware to the unit.
