2.3 Product Overview
The Stratos Outstation provides control and monitoring of traffic controllers and other on-
street equipment. The outstation provides an Ethernet port for IP connectivity to an
instation.
The controller interface can be semi-integral, where the data is transferred via RS232, or
freestanding, where the interface is via individual I/O relay contacts or a combination of
the two. The interface summary for each controller type is given in the following table:-
