       Introduction

Introduction

What TemPageR 3E Is

TemPageR 3E is AVTECH Software’s (AVTECH) ‘

Real-Time Temperature Monitor For IT & 

Facilities Environment Monitoring

’. It is designed specifically to monitor 1-3 digital temperature 

sensors in distributed locations spanning a 200´ diameter. TemPageR additionally allows unlimited 

alert notifications via email to devices like computers, mobile phones, BlackBerrys, pagers and PDAs. 

Users can set up thresholds for temperatures that are rising or falling and easily work with TemPageR 

through their favorite web browser. Because each TemPageR ID box is SNMP enabled, it can easily be 

monitored by software applications like 

Device ManageR

,

 Tivoli, OpenView, Unicenter, Big Brother, 

Nagios, What’s Up Gold, SolarWinds

 and others.

TemPageR is designed to easily work with AVTECH’s Device ManageR software which is included 

FREE and is designed to set up, monitor and manage unlimited numbers of Room Alert and/or 

TemPageR units across your network. Device ManageR will log and graph all sensor data, allow for 

Pings, firmware updating and much more. It will significantly enhance the alert notification capabilities 

to allow notification to individuals, groups, hierarchies, different people for different sensors/locations, 

and different people for different times of the day. With Device ManageR alert notification methods 

can be expanded to include email, email-to-SMS, actions such as toggling Signal Tower LEDs (for 

Room Alert models), sending URL Web Requests and more. If you have not looked at Device ManageR 

before, take a look because it truly is one of the easiest and most powerful solutions to use and is 

included for FREE with your purchase.

Benefits Of Using TemPageR 3E

Know immediately when important or critical temperature changes and extremes occur within 

a computer room, data center or other facility that could lead to expensive down time, damaged 

equipment, lost worker productivity or denied server access. Providing early warnings about situations 

that could damage hardware, threaten uptime or block system access allows staff and management 

to take actions that can avoid or minimize an events’ impact on servers, the network, users, recovery 

insurance and the emergency IT budget. 

Give the IT or facilities staff and management “peace of mind” by keeping them fully informed 

of critical temperature changes regardless of where they are, the time of day or day of the week. 

Temperature extremes place an enormous stress on computer hardware and are normally caused by 

failure of the main air conditioning system or a loss of power. Extremes for even a short time can create 

major challenges for the IT staff and their budget.
