NTI MINI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
22
Name
Each sensor can be named. Names can be from 1-32 characters in length and include most characters. They cannot contain a
backslash ( \ ) or quotation mark ( " ).
Thresholds
The high and low threshold of proper operating temperatures and/or humidity can be configured. If the sensor readings go
above or below these settings, an alert can be communicated in a predetermined way (see Alert Methods below). Readings
from a dry-contact sensor can be configured to cause an alert to be sent if the contact position changes (open or closed).
Alert Timing
The hysteresis of the alert timing can be adjusted. This means that a recurrence of an alert can be delayed in the event the
readings from a sensor only fall above or below the threshold levels for the specified period of time. The time period can be set
for 1-9999 seconds or minutes.
A time period can be set for how long to wait before repeating an alert message after the first message is sent when the sensor
remains in an alert condition. The repeated alert can be set to occur from 1-9999 seconds, minutes, or hours.
The user can be notified when the sensor readings have returned to the normal range by selecting the "
Notify on return to normal
"
box for a sensor.
The user can set the number of alert messages that can be sent for each sensor per alert condition. As few as 1 and as many as
255 can be set, or enter “0” to disable the limitation and enable an unlimited number of messages.
The user can choose to have alerts be automatically acknowledged when conditions return to normal by selecting the
“
Automatically acknowledge alert when condition clears
” box for a sensor.
Alert Methods
The alert can be configured to notify a user via email, SMS, SNMP traps (V1), or Syslog messages. Alerts are also indicated on
the FAULT LED on the front of the ENVIROMUX-MINI and in the WEB interface on the Summary Page.
For the ENVIROMUX-MINI to send an email alert, the Email settings (on the “Email” page) and the IP address of the DNS server
(on the “Network” page) must be properly configured. Put a checkmark in the "
Email"
box to enable this option. The email
addresses chosen for alerts from the Email configuration page will be pre-filled in the text box below the check box. The email
addresses may be changed on this page as well. Simply enter the desired email addresses (maximum of 112 characters
including commas) and click Apply.
Note: If the email addresses are changed on this page, they will also be automatically changed on the Email page.
SNMP
For an SNMP trap to be sent, put a checkmark in the "
SNMP"
box. The SNMP trap destination IP address from the Network
configuration page will be pre-filled in the “Notify address” box below. The IP address can also be changed from this page.
Simply enter the desired SNMP trap destination IP address and click Apply.
Note: If the IP address is changed on this page, it will also be automatically changed on the Network page.
Syslog
The ENVIROMUX-MINI can send alerts as Syslog messages when a sensor enters/leaves alert mode, and for all log
events. For a Syslog message to be sent, put a checkmark in the "
Syslog"
box. Enter an IP address in the “Notify address” box
below and click Apply.
SMS
A GSM or 3G modem must be connected to the ENVIROMUX-MINI in order to send alert messages using SMS (page 10). With
the modem properly connected and powered ON, the ENVIROMUX-MINI should display the word “Ready” in the box for “GSM
Modem Status. To enable SMS alerts, place a checkmark in the “SMS” block and apply a valid cell phone number in the block
provided.
Note: This feature requires firmware version 1.31 or higher.
