Motorola SDM 3000

[jatrujil]

I am working with A Motorola SDM3000, that is currently configured as a SNT. I have found a brief mention in a Motorola Manual that states that this SDM3000 can be reused as an RTU. I have not been able to find documentation on how to change the configuration of this SDM3000 from an SNT to an RTU.

Has somebody done this before, or familiar with how it can be done?

Depending on your "use case", you may want to reach out to your area ST.

SDM3000's are - usually - seen as the endpoint for MCC7500 Aux I/O's.
In other words, they allow the console to open say garage doors.
It requires a specific firmware load that can be done via the web interface
on the device. The I/O ports can then control external relays. Also
specific programming in PM is needed to enable those ports/functions.

RTU usage is more complicated. Typically seen at RF sites. You need
SDM Builder to create a codeplug to download to the device. Lots of
information is needed to build that file. It will also report status to
UEM and possibly other applications (ie. moscad/gws for control of
the devices connected to it). UEM discovery will be needed - which
means SDM Builder SNMP settings need to match what you use in
UEM. Lots of little details that if you've never done it before, you're
better off offloading it to the ST assigned to your territory.

As for SNT (network translation), *big* caveat here - if your box was
ordered from the factory as an SNT only - then you are SOL - they were
not usable as an RTU because the I/O option boards were not installed
in an SNT only SDM3000 (that might have changed, but last time I did
one, they were missing).

No further support offered.
Good luck.

We have the Sbuilder software and project files. this sdm3000 was in a group of our hardware spares. However, it won't accept the configuration because it is currently an SNT. I did find a brief statement in a Motorola manual that states the SNT can be re-used as a RTU and to refer to the "MOSCAD RTU" documentation, which I have not ran across. As near as I can tell it looks like all the boards are present inside. At this point, my only thought is that maybe it is something that could be done at the factory. Just thought I would reach out and see if anyone in the community knew for sure.

An ST can accomplish this. I'd reach out to your local ST.

Do you have a digital version of the SDM3000 manual?
