Also known as: Remote Server Environment Monitoring System, EMS, monitor network closet, data center thermometer, web alert thermometers temperature humidity IP sensor reading, computer rooms temperature alert, tcp/ip temp probe.
The ENVIROMUX® Enterprise Environment Monitoring System (EMS) 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 email-to-SMS or external USB modem).
The system includes two internal sensors: temperature and humidity. It also supports five external configurable sensors, five digital input sensors, and two output relays for control of external devices.

The E-MICRO-TRH(P) Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP can function as an IP-connected remote sensor for the E-5D. To add a remote IP sensor, access the web interface and select Monitoring > IP Sensors. Click on the "Add New IP Sensor" link on the bottom and key in the description and IP address of the E-MICRO-TRH(P) to connect it to the E-5D. Up to eight remote IP sensors can be connected. All sensors connected, including the Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP, to the E-5D can be viewed on one summary page.
In addition to 8 E-MICRO IP sensors, the E-5D also supports 4 E-1W Remote 1-Wire Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP.
The E-5D Medium Enterprise Environment Monitoring System supports the RADIUS protocol. Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting management for users who connect and use a network service. When a user accesses the ENVIROMUX system, an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server to determine the user's permission level and authorizes access.
By connecting the E-DI16DO16 Digital Input/Open Collector Output Expander to the ENVIROMUX unit's RJ45 sensor port using up to 500 feet of CAT5/5e/6 cable, up to 16 additional smoke detectors can be added to each expander. Since the E-DI16DO16 does not supply power, the E-SDS-CELCP Low-Cost Smoke Detector Sensor (CE) with an included power supply should be connected to the expander using 22-gauge 2-wire sensor cables. Based on the desired number of smoke detectors, more expanders can be connected to the ENVIROMUX unit as long as there are RJ45 sensor ports available.
Other self-powered sensors, such as the E-IMD-P Infrared Motion Sensor and E-CMD-P Carbon Monoxide Detector will also work with this set-up. Each sensor can be located up to 1000 ft away from the expander.
Note: Since the ENVIROMUX unit does not provide power to the smoke detector, it cannot remotely reset the smoke detector power when connected through the E-DI16DO16. Unlatch the activated smoke detector by simply unplugging and replugging the power supply.
Note: When using the E-DI16DOR16-V2 Digital Input/Normally-Open Relay Contact Output Expander, the power supply for the smoke detectors can be run through a relay contact on the expander. This allows users to remotely power cycle if needed.
Note: The 12V/1A power supply included with the E-SDS-CELCP can provide power to additional E-SDS-CELC-V2 units through daisy chaining. The E-SDS-CELCP has a minimum operating voltage of 9V. As there will be power loss with this configuration, attention must be given to the gauge and length of the power conductors used to determine the number of units it can support and how far the units can go. Caution: If the single power supply fails, none of the smoke detectors in the string will work. Additional power supplies may be required to assure protection of the area should a power supply fail.
Events and Smart Alerts can be set-up to enable a configuration that will allow the disabling of motion sensors during the time an operator enters an enclosed area via a keypad, but will re-arm the motion sensors when he exits the area and re-enters the keypad code. This requires the keypad output relay, which will be programmed in "Start/Stop" mode instead of timed delay, to be connected as a digital input to the ENVIROMUX and an output relay from the ENVIROMUX that will activate the door strike when the correct code is entered.
For details on how to set up this configuration, refer to the Knowledge Base entry.
Set up the E-4GU-3/6 on one ENVIROMUX unit. Access the web interface of the ENVIROMUX equipped with the modem, and click on Administration > Enterprise, and expand SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Enable Server"; this only applies to the ENVIROMUX unit with the modem. Access the other ENVIROMUX units' web interface (no modem) and navigate to SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Use remote unit to send SMS" and in the textbox, "Remote unit IP Address," type in the IP address of the ENVIROMUX unit with the E-4GU-3/6. Configure any desired SMS alert settings on all ENVIROMUX units. Any SMS alert messages triggered on the other ENVIROMUX units will be sent through the Ethernet to the main SMS alert unit, which will then use the E-4GU-3/6 to send the messages.
This reduces the number of E-4GU-3/6 units needed to support SMS alerts when using multiple ENVIROMUX units. This SMS relay function is not restricted to identical units and can be integrated with any number and type of E-2D/5D/16D units. No management software is required to set up the SMS relay feature.
"We're very happy with our purchase and appreciate your excellent customer service! NTI was recommended to my team by our lead systems engineer, who has been using your products in our robust data center for many years. When we started having environmental trouble in our telephone switch room, our lead systems engineer suggested adding the ENVIROMUX E-5DB Environment Monitoring System to alert us when things go wrong. We're very excited about the prospect of having email alerts based on temperature and power problems. "
"We have had great experience thus far with our ENVIROMUX set of equipment. The E-5D and sensors have been installed and in operation for 2+ years now. It is a very reliable product."
"I like your E-5D environment monitoring product. It is simple to install, setup and use daily for monitoring."
