1.1. The Range
The ip.buffer is designed to collect and store information from such devices as telephone
PBXs – for CDR/SMDR collection, for alarm and traffic management, and to allow pass-
through access for moves and changes.
The product range includes three main devices:
ip-4 = 128Mbyte memory with 4 serial ports
ip-1 = 32Mbyte memory with 1 serial port
The ip-4 device includes internal temperature monitoring, built in global or GPRS modem,
plus the SEbus expansion connector. They also have an option for 48VDC power (see
Section 22). They are both built inside a metal box that can be rack mounted in a 1U high
bay.
The ip-1 device has an optional global PSTN or GPRS modem and is housed in a plastic
casing with facilities for wall mounting, tie-wrapping, and DIN rail mounting.
All three devices allow battery backup using 3 standard AA NiMH batteries. With fully
charged cells the unit can continue to operate for approximately 2 hours.
1.2. Features
All devices have proprietary Scannex features and advanced facilities:
Collection
o
Auto pin detection on the serial ports
o
Auto baud rate and protocol detection on the serial ports
o
Collection from serial and TCP/IP enabled devices
o
Collection from devices that perform FTP push
o
Collection of UDP data including syslog information, SNMP Traps (with trap
decoding and SNMP get queries on connected devices), and
RADIUS Accounting
o
Collection from a web server running Scannex C# or PHP scripts.
o
Support for ASCII, Binary and iSDX data sources
o
Automatic partitioning of NAND flash memory with optional settings for
limiting memory sizes of each channel
Various delivery options including:
o
HTTP/HTTPS post to web Cloud Server
1
The detection is performed using voltage sensing, so the ip.buffer can detect whether the data
source is DCE or DTE wired even with no data
2
Each ip.buffer can collect data from as many TCP/IP devices as there are serial ports. Each
channel can be assigned to either the serial port or a TCP/IP or UDP/IP collection.
