Unattended Site Configuration
Unattended Site Configuration
An unattended site configuration consists of one or more system consoles at one site,
typically a centralized monitoring station, and a stand-alone, dedicated network at a
remote site that includes primary and backup system consoles. Because it has no
onsite operator, the remote site is referred to as an unattended site. Figure 10-10
shows an example of an unattended site configuration.
Create the Unattended Site Configuration
A system console at the central site typically is configured for low-level link and service
connection access to the remote site. This workstation can be an independent system
console, as shown in Figure 10-10, or part of another network configuration.
Redundant workstations are recommended to prevent loss of communications as a
result of a workstation failure.
