Overview

SIP/E1 Gateway Access Control is a specialized device created by TERRATEL in accordance with the technical requirements of a telecommunications operator of communication services. The main task of the project was to combine the functions of a digital VoIP gateway and an access control module, security and fire loops and sensors for monitoring the state of parameters of an object and the equipment installed on it.

As a result of the project implementation, the devices were installed in one 1U case with one power input and a common Ethernet port for control and settings.

SIP/E1 Gateway Access Control is monitored by a specialized server application using the SNMP protocol.

SIP/E1 Gateway Access Control is used for interfacing IP and PSTN networks, as well as monitoring access and other parameters of an unattended facility in order to minimize operating costs.

Connected devices, monitored parameters

  • four loops for connecting devices, as well as power supply output for devices security/fire alarm (10..12V, 100mA or 10..15V 750mA (optional))
  • input of a remote temperature sensor
  • voltage measurement input 0..3V (humidity sensor)
  • voltage measurement input 0..90V (battery)
  • two inputs for connecting the presence sensors AC 220V
  • 12V battery input

Distinctive features

  • Support for all types of signaling protocols used on a TDM/PSTN network
  • IP-TDM, TDM-IP, TDM-TDM connections
  • Monitoring and control of security and fire loops and other parameters of a remote object

SNMP-Based Control and Monitoring System

For the simultaneous control of several devices, in particular the parameters of the VoIP gateway and the monitoring of the parameters of the object, an additional solution of Terratel was used – the application “TTA Monitor”.

The application designed to communicate with devices can use either SNMP or internal communication protocol. TTA Monitor can operate under Windows or Linux operating systems.
