Audio Amplifier System Integration

Audio Amplifier System Integration enabled centralized control and real-time status monitoring, ensuring efficient management and minimal manual intervention.

Project Overview

In a Multiplex there were about 23 Amplifiers linked to a switch and wanted to read data on BMS (Building Management System).

Initial Situation

Each of the Amplifier had 7 channels and each channel was connected to a speaker.
Maintenance team initially controlled each amplifier manually.
Amplifier was able to communicate on Telnet Protocol.
Existing BMS supported SNMP Protocol.

Customer Requirement

Customer wanted to Monitor and Control the status (On / Off) of all the Amplifiers.

Solution Provided

ProtoConvert suggested a gateway which could communicate between Telnet and SNMP (v2c).
All the Amplifiers, ProtoConvert Gateway and BMS were connected in a network with multiple switches.
Amplifier was configured as Telnet Server while BMS was configured as SNMP Client.
ProtoConvert configured a Gateway such that it could get the data on Telnet and Serve on SNMP.
As both the protocols are Ethernet based, ProtoConvert configured the gateway in a way that it could communicate both the protocols on a single Ethernet port.

Result

As a result ProtoConvert displayed Amplifier’s status successfully on MIB Browser.
