Diseño e implementación de un módulo SNMP para el control y monitoreo de nodos de la Empresa ETAPA EP

Abstract

This thesis work focuses on the development of a system by which network administrators from ETAPA EP, a telecom provider from the city of Cuenca, Ecuador, will be able to remotely either prevent or troubleshoot node failures based on the occurrence of energy outages, therefore in this project there have been first developed current and voltage sensors for the three phase distribution line, as well as sensors in order to monitor the back-up energy system, which consists of a generator and two battery banks. A node security and temperature monitoring scheme has been also taken into account.

An analysis on the communication system able to meet the enterprises network parameters in order to send information from the sensors or to receive commands to trigger relays is provided in detail, this study includes both the hardware and software specifications and guidelines required to set up this system. In order for someone to replicate a remote sensor monitoring system such as this one, the reader is expected to have a solid understanding of electronics, networking, SNMP, as well as C programming skills.
