Features & Applications
The ENVIROMUX® Server Environment Monitoring System monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid water presence, power, intrusion, and smoke. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via external GSM or 3G modem).
The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors and eight digital input sensors.
Monitor and manage server room environmental and security conditions over IP.
Create alarm signals with customized input parameters.
Four output relays for control of external devices.
Relays activate upon alarm or via the user interface.
Supports IP network video cameras for live view of any facility.
One integrated view - see different Web cameras side-by-side with physical and environmental parameters.
With the USB option, any programmed event can trigger a snapshot from an IP camera.
Monitor (ping) up to 64 IP network devices.
Alerts are sent if devices are not responding.
Available sensors include: temperature, humidity, smoke, water, glass break, motion, vibration, 4-20mA converter, voltage detector, and more.
Stores up to 1,000 event and data entries in system data log.
The log can be downloaded as a tab-delimited plain text file, viewed via the web interface, or sent to up to 16 remote IP addresses using syslog.
Automatically log to USB flash drive w/ USB model.
Integrates with various Open Source monitoring packages — Nagios and MRTG.
Provides power supply for all sensors.
Internal battery backup.
Alerts are sent when there is a power outage and when power returns.
Available with optional dual power for connection to two separate power sources.
Available with optional 48VDC or 24VDC power.
Up to six units can be used together to increase the number of sensors connected.
Connect up to six units via Ethernet connection or up to four units using CAT5 expansion cables to increase the number of sensors connected.
Uses a single Web interface for all systems connected.
Available with optional USB port for connecting USB modem or for downloading log data to USB flash drive.
Optional intuitive graphical software provides an easy-to-use, unified interface for both monitoring and configuring up to 3,000
ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 units and all connected sensors.
1RU rack mount case is standard.
Meets the electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity requirements of IEC/EN 61000-4-2.
Use in data centers, co-lo sites, web hosting facilities, telecom switching sites, POP sites, server closets, or any unmanned area that needs to be monitored.
Specifications

Alerts are sent using email, syslog, SMS messages and/or SNMP traps when any monitored environmental condition goes out of range of a configurable threshold.
Alerts are posted in message log, which is accessible through Web user interface. The log can be downloaded as a tab-delimited plain text file.
Sends notifications of alerts to a maximum of 17 email addresses, SNMP addresses and/or cell phone numbers. The users can configure the schedule when they will be alerted, as well as customize the e-mail subject line for each sensor alert.
SNMP traps have unique OID's (Object Identifiers) for each sensor.
Optional intuitive graphical software provides an easy-to-use, unified interface for both monitoring and configuring up to 3,000 ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 units and all connected sensors.
Application Note: Alert Notifications Sent via Email, LED, Web Page, Network Management (SNMP) and SMS messages.
