sat-nms IO-FEP MNC Front-end Processor
The sat-nms IO-FEP MNC Front-end Processor interfaces to any low level interface commonly used in satellite ground stations like equipment alarm contacts, waveguide- or coaxial-switches and other status signals. It provides opto-coupled in- and outputs and potential free relay output contacts. All these interfaces are then monitored and controlled locally in the sat-nms IO-FEP.
You can also integrate the sat-nms IO-FEP seamlessly in our sat-nms MNC. But also the integration in other monitoring solutions is possible because of SNMP, HTTP and RS232 interfaces. The sat-nms IO-FEP works also as a stand-alone system with a user-friendly web browser interface and an integrated event and alarm log.
