Axess

Automate Broadcast, Media, Telco operations and control and monitor all devices and systems across your network.

Powerful system and device monitoring, alarm management, and remote control capabilities from any connected device.

Monitoring and Control

Broadcasters, telecommunication network providers, building management teams and infrastructure facility operators trust us for monitoring, control and management of their facilities and networked remote sites.

Eliminate Human Error

Automatically monitors customer-specified criteria, adjusts operational parameters when necessary, and provides comprehensive data logging and reporting. In the case of critical faults or failures, Axess deploys redundant systems providing peace of mind and effectively managing an auto-correction business model.

Scalable

As you scale your network, Axess grows with you – configuring SNMP devices, supporting all protocols and connected devices on your network – whether on-site or remote.

Custom Dashboards and Reporting

You can view and analyze performance metrics, access logs, and other relevant information through interactive visualizations and reports within your Axess GUI.

Axess-NOC

Aggregate and manage remote multi-site Axess systems across a network, whether they’re regional, national, or global. Seamlessly integrates with rOVing for accessing, monitoring,  controlling and logging real-time data across your network.

FAQs

What operating system do I require?

The current version of Axess will run on Windows 11, or Windows Server. Earlier versions of Axess running on Windows XP or Windows 2000 will require upgrade to one of these newer versions before upgrade to the current Axess version.

No, any video card or motherboard video interface capable of driving a standard 1280X1024 (or higher) resolution monitor will work.

Yes, Axess can communicate over phone lines using most current types of modems.

Yes, Axess can communicate via RS-232 or RS-422 with a variety of serial devices, such as SuitelifeSystems universal interface device and other similar devices made by industry manufacturers.

Axess has the ability to send e-mail, pager message or give a voice-call notification should there be an alarm condition.

The OVI (Operator Visual Interface) is a graphics object-oriented screen that is created by the user to show signal or data flow, equipment layout, signal and routing configurations, building facility parameters such as AC power phasing, door alarms and operational variables, including alarms, warning messages, status and control conditions.

Yes, you can build an OVI screen, or a group of screens, at one site and move or copy screens to another site for easy implementation.

The total time depends on the number of installation sites and each site’s complexity. 

Please read the Axess manual to review the pre-installation and PC machine requirements, OS setup, and software feature set.

Digital, analog, and graph meters are available and scalable depending on the user’s preferences.

Axess will work across a WAN or LAN
We recommend the user has a secure VPN type connection.

To use Axess to control a TFT EAS system, you will need two COM ports and one GPX-32: one for the EAS Receive Messages and one for the EAS Transmit messages.
A Sage Digital ENDEC requires one COM port. Since Trilithic utilizes SNMP no COM ports are required.
Depending on the configuration of your PC, you may need to add a serial port expander card to the machine for the COM ports.

Many standard temperature, humidity, and environmental probes can be connected to Axess.

Axess includes an SCL (System Control Language) feature so users can set up scripted routines for each control, status, and analog channel.
This allows the system to automatically perform specific user-defined actions.

Each user is assigned a password level that determines their ability to activate controls or perform functions in the system.

Building systems with a parallel interface in the form of voltage or contact closure  can be set up and monitored on the Axess system through the GPX-32 interface device. Any systems with SNMP interfaces can also be monitored.

Axess generates user-defined (filtered) event and analog reports

Using plug-ins, Axess can interface with many devices using TCP/IP, parallel, serial, USB, ModBus (Serial & TCP/IP) and SNMP (MIB) connections.
Custom plug-ins can be created to connect to specialized devices or systems

System Requirements

We recommend the following minimum system requirements:

SuiteLifeSystems can also supply Axess pre-installed on DELL server class hardware ready to use out of the box.
