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). The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors and eight digital input sensors.

Application Notes

  • Alert Notifications Sent via Email, LEDs, Web Page, Network Management (SNMP), and SMS Messages
    Alert Notifications Sent via Email, LEDs, Web Page, Network Management (SNMP), and SMS Messages
    The ENVIROMUX Server Environment Monitoring System gives total security to IT centers by providing early warnings about potential problems via email, LEDs, web page, network management (SNMP), and SMS messages (via external GSM modem).
  • Send Email Alerts from a Private Network to a Public Mail Relay Server
    Send Email Alerts from a Private Network to a Public Mail Relay Server

    The ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 present on a private 10.x.x.x network is capable of sending email alerts to a public 153.x.x.x mail relay server.

    Note:To use a DSL type router in this set up, set a gateway in the network settings of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 to allow traffic to be sent to the 153.x.x.x network. The IP address of the router on the private 10.x.x.x network is the gateway.

  • Monitor Telect™ GMT Fuse Panels with Relay Outputs.
    Monitor Telect™ GMT Fuse Panels with Relay Outputs.

    The ENVIROMUX™ Server Environment Monitoring System monitors Telect™ GMT fuse panel relay outputs and sends alerts in case of power loss, fuse break, or bay alarms. Configure digital inputs as "normally open" for proper operation.

  • Accessing Sensor Data using HTTP Requests
    Accessing Sensor Data using HTTP Requests

    Sensor data can be retrieved from the ENVIROMUX® Server Environment Monitoring System using the HTTP requests shown in the table below. The value for "s" is the value of the sensor. For example, to access the current value for External Sensor number 1 you can use:

    http://[ip address of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 to access]/ext_sens_val.html?s=1

    Sensor data URI paths and queries
    Type Value Status
    External Sensor ext_sens_val.html?s=0 ext_sens_stat.html?s=0
    Internal Sensor int_sens_val.html?s=0 int_sens_stat.html?s=0
    Power Sensor pow_sens_val.html?s=0 pow_sens_stat.html?s=0
    Digital Input dig_inp_val.html?s=0 dig_inp_stat.html?s=0
    Output Relays rly_out_val.html?s=0 NA
  • Accessing the Root Password of an ENVIROMUX-SEMS

    Steps to Access the Root Password of an ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit:

    1. Connect a serial cable between a PC and the console port of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit. Have a Hyperterminal (or other serial com application) open and set to current serial settings of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x Unit (default is 9600). To test the connection, hit "enter" and a message requesting a password should be seen on the Hyperterminal (just as a test).

    2. Use the Discover tool to detect the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x in the network. This requires that the PC where the Discover tool is ran and the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x are on the same physical network. (A cross-over CAT5 cable between PC and the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x will also work.)

    3. In the Discover tool window type 1.2.3.4 in all three fields (IP Address, Default Gateway and Subnet Mask) and press Apply. This will cause the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-x unit to print the current root password on the serial console (HyperTerminal) between two vertical bars (like |admin|). The IP settings will remain the same, and not change to 1.2.3.4.

  • "We are very satisfied with NTIs ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16UDP; it has saved our butt many times!! With millions of $$ worth of equipment we have, the ENVIROMUX device monitors our server room environment and the status of our servers. You can't put a price on data loss!"

  • "I was looking for a simple, yet effective environmental monitoring system for our server room. The ENVIROMUX system was very easy to install and setup. I was especially looking for a system that would give me the capability to add a phone dialer for alerting in addition to the built-in email alerting function. I am very happy with the system and support from the NTI"

    Doug Arnold

  • "The ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 is working great for us. It was very simple to install using the web interface. We are able to monitor temperature and humidity at 16 locations within our server room. We are very pleased with the customer service that we received from NTI, Phyllis was very knowledgeable and helpful."

    William Bakhenberg

  • "NTI's ENVIROMUX-MINI has allowed our federal agency to monitor temperature in critical areas should the building's HVAC fail. I was so impressed by it that we upgraded our main server room from the ENVIROMUX-MINI to the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16, which will allow us to send cellular messages during power failures that affect our demarc. As the Network Engineer responsible for monitoring the agency's network faults and environmental variables, I can fulfill my duties knowing that NTI's products will alert me of a potential failure long before anyone becomes affected by it."

    Philip Hutinet

  • "I am very satisfied with the performance of the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16, and I especially like the ease of operation."

    James Husband

  • "While shopping for environment monitoring equipment for our remote facilities, I came across NTI's website. One call got me all the information I needed on the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16. After sharing the information with everyone, we couldn't believe the flexibility of these units. NTI allowed us to demo one of the units for 30 days. The quality and flexibility of the product is great, plus NTI has a sensor for most anything you want to monitor. We placed another call to order two more units and all the sensors we needed. Now we can completely monitor and protect our remote sites just by logging in through a web browser."

    Patrick Beard

  • "Between myself and my assistant, we are responsible for approximately 360 network devices at 4 different facilities. Several of these 360+ devices are wireless access points, routers, switches and our biggest nemeses, network based IP time clocks which are used for time and attendance purposes as well as logging on and off of jobs to track time.

    Being able to ping for up status of the non PC network IP devices through the ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 allows my assistant and I to attack a down device before it becomes a crisis."
