Cheetal AlertNode-128-SMS — Remote Alerting & Notification System

Overview

AlertNode-128-SMS is a packaged remote alerting appliance from Cheetal Technology, designed for sites that need reliable alarm notification from industrial and IT infrastructure without deploying a full SCADA or monitoring server.

It discovers values and alarm points from connected equipment over SNMP, Modbus TCP, Modbus RTU and optional physical I/O, applies user-defined alarm rules with escalation settings, and dispatches SMS and email alerts to configured recipients through its built-in 4G/LTE modem and site LAN. A web interface provides live status, event log, and recipient / rule configuration.
