Introduction
What Room Alert 26W Is
Room Alert 26W is the AVTECH Software (AVTECH) solution for
‘Monitoring Real-Time Temperature,
Humidity, Power, Flood & More with Logging, Automatic Server Shutdown, Alerting & Wireless Sensor
Monitoring!’
It is designed specifically to monitor unlimited digital temperature, digital temperature/
humidity and switch sensors that can be distributed throughout a room, department or building. Room
Alert 26W includes built-in sensors for digital temperature, digital humidity, main power and flood with
additional external sensors in the base package for room entry and digital temperature. External ports
are built-in for direct connection of a 6 digital sensors, 16 switch sensors and an expansion box. An
unlimited number of wireless sensors can be monitored. Wireless sensor monitoring allows the Room
Alert 26W to monitor only AVTECH’s Wireless Sensor Hubs (WiSH Sensors) via an encrypted and
secure private protocol. A WiSH Sensor is provided with the Room Alert 26W and includes a built-in
digital temperature sensor, 2 digital sensor ports and 1 switch sensor port. Note that Room Alert 26W is
NOT wireless and attaches directly to the network via Ethernet to provide complete security.
Room Alert 26W monitors in real-time and allows alert notifications to be sent via email and email-to-
SMS to devices like computers, phones, pagers and PDAs. Users can set up thresholds for temperature
and humidity that are rising or falling, and monitor digital power consumption through AVTECH’s
Digital Power Sensor. Status of attached sensors for power, flood, smoke, air flow, room entry and
more is viewed in real-time through Room Alert 26W’s web interface and your favorite web browser.
Because each Room Alert 26W ID box is SNMP enabled, it can easily be monitored via SNMP savvy
applications like
PageR Enterprise, OpenView, Tivoli, Unicenter
and others.
Room Alert 26W is designed to work easily with AVTECH’s PageR Enterprise (PageR) software and
a
PageR 20 Object Enterprise
license is included (bundled with the package) at no additional charge.
PageR will significantly enhance the alerting capabilities to allow notification to unlimited individuals
and groups, hierarchies, different people for different sensors/locations, and different people for different
times of the day. With PageR, users can establish custom monitoring schedules and dependencies. Alert
notification methods can also be expanded to include email, email-to-SMS, Simple Network Paging
Protocol (SNPP), dialout paging (TAP or UCP), web page update, logfile update, pop-up broadcast
message, MSN Messenger, audio alert, spoken English text, fax and more.
PageR will enable automatic corrective actions both on alarm start and alarm resolution. This means that
users have the ability to start/stop computers, start/stop applications, run commands, start executables,
run JavaScripts, run Visual Basic (VB) scripts, and the like. If you have not looked at PageR before,
take a look because it truly is one of the easiest and most powerful products to use in network-wide
monitoring. Even better, it can work harmoniously with your favorite network-wide monitoring
application while monitoring any server, device or event worldwide across your network, regardless of
operating system, via a single installation that uses no rules and no agents. Remember, it’s included.
Room Alert 26W is a member of AVTECH Software’s Room Alert product line. There are several
powerful Room Alert models designed to monitor IT environmental conditions in any type or size
