Overview
The MP-1 device is an element of the remote monitoring system via Ethernet (SNMP v2c/v3) of equipment and objects (data centers, process equipment, autonomous stations, industrial premises).
The MP-1 expansion module supports up to 12 universal digital inputs (with status monitoring and power switching), which can operate in the fire loop protection mode or dry contacts.
It is possible to connect sensors and detectors for monitoring standard fire alarms (smoke, motion, glass break, window/door opening sensors).
The MP-1 expansion module can be used in two versions: as a standalone device (Ethernet 10/100 Mbits) and as a module for expanding the functionality of the TTA-08 device (CAN bus).
Using the MP-1 expansion modules allows the TTA-08 device to increase the number of input interfaces within the monitored premises to 130.

Data from sensors is processed by TTA-08 and transmitted via Ethernet to the client-server SNMP NMS monitoring system or mobile phone (voice message or SMS).
Master mode (as a standalone device)
Fig 2. Network work diagram of MP-1 in Master mode
In this mode, the MP-1 operates as an independent device with support for 12 inputs for connecting fire alarm loops (with status monitoring and power switching) or dry contact type sensors (Digital Input).
Connection to the NMS infrastructure monitoring system is carried out via Ethernet network and SNMP v2c/v3.
Slave mode – CAN bus
Expansion modules are connected to the main controller of the TTA-08 system via a serial CAN bus of standard 2.0.
The total number of MP-1 expansion modules, with the exception of the TTA-08 device, must not exceed 10 units.
Data from the sensors is processed by the controller and transmitted via the Ethernet network to the client-server SNMP NMS monitoring system and/or mobile phone (voice message or SMS).

Option for placing MP-1 in a 19″ rack
For mounting devices in a 19″ rack, Terratel offers the use of a specialized 1U 19″ bracket.

Connected devices, controlled parameters
- 12x inputs for connecting fire alarm loops (with status monitoring and power switching) or Dry Contact type sensors (Digital Input)
WEB-interface of the device
The sensor data is processed by the MP-1 controller and transmitted via Ethernet to the dispatcher/user computer or to a mobile phone via SMS.
The dispatcher, on a personal computer, via the built-in WEB-interface, in real time sees the status of all connected sensors of the selected device.

SNMP protocol
Support of SNMP v2/v3 protocol allows integrating the device into a standard network management and control system. The device can generate SNMP trap for all events.
Control and monitoring system based on the SNMP protocol
To control several monitoring units at a time TTA Monitor application can be used.
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.
SNMP-based control and monitoring system
For simultaneous control of several monitoring devices, you can use an additional solution – the TTA Monitor application.
The application for communication with devices uses either the SNMP protocol or an internal communication protocol. The TTA Monitor program can run under Windows and Linux operating systems.

Monitoring remote objects will allow the dispatcher to make necessary decisions, remotely switch various systems or give appropriate instructions to personnel.
Advantages of remote monitoring and control of remote objects
Using a remote monitoring device with connected sensors, it is possible to build various systems for monitoring and control of remote objects:
- monitoring system for data processing centers and server rooms;
- monitoring system for industrial premises;
- monitoring system for warehouse premises;
- monitoring of a 19″ rack over LAN networks.
