Traditionally a telemetry environment consists of a one or a number of remote sites at which Field Devices are deployed, each site is linked to a highly resilient central management system known as the Master Station.

Multenet Gateways for PBX Integrations
PBX systems form a crucial component in determining information flow. Valuable data for Call Accounting, CRM and other applications within an enterprise can be obtained. Systems are not always available with IP support. These devices need to connect to IP PBXs.
Record PBX call data
Traditionally PBX monitoring was done in the following way: a PC would be connected to the serial port of the PBX and a large data file created. This file may be imported to a management application. Another method was to connect a serial printer to the PBX system resulting in reams of paper. Later innovations included various intelligent and dumb call logging units (CLU’s) that are placed next to the PBX and usually connect to it serially. These devices may or may not have Ethernet connectivity and would typically download information to a management application supplied by the CLU supplier.
Electronic Display
Using an EtherPAD, combined with an external modem, Multenet has connected a LED electronic display to the Internet. The EtherPAD is connected to the serial port of the electronic display and, via an ISP, to the Internet.
