Exterity has bolstered its AvediaStream c1110 IPTV headend chassis with the addition of a system monitoring card.
The card monitors the chassis fan speed, power supplies and blade health and temperature and can provide early warning of issues, which may impact delivery of the IPTV services.
The AvediaStream c1110 monitor card features twenty external LED’s providing an immediate visual indication of the status of each of the card slots, fans and power supplies of the chassis, highlighting any problems before actual failure.
Communication occurs over the network protocol SNMP. In addition, the monitor card can reduce power consumption by remotely powering up and down individual AvediaStream IPTV modules.
