    The ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 monitors the internal temperature and humidity of the unit, giving readings that can be used as an estimate for the conditions of other nearby rack components. Additionally, it is capable of monitoring a maximum of 16 external sensors (available from NTI) and up to 8 additional contact-type sensors (often called open-collector, contact-closure, relay-style, normal-open, or normal-closed).

  • Page 17: Sensor Attachment

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Sensor Attachment Note: It is very important to locate the temperature and/or humidity sensors away from ventilation sources and fans. Connect each external sensor having an RJ45 male connector on it (ENVIROMUX-STS, ENVIROMUX-SHS, ENVIROMUX- STHS, ENVIROMUX-LDS) to one of the female connectors labeled "RJ45 Sensors" on the ENVIROMUX. Male connectors should snap into place.
  • Page 18: Figure 7- Digital In Terminal Connections

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM 3. To connect contact sensors without using RJ45 connectors, terminal blocks have been provided labeled "DIGITAL IN". Two wire switch-only type sensors can be connected to the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals of each or 4 sets of terminals. If the sensors require a 12V power source to operate, additional 12V and ground terminals have been provided for each set of terminals.
  • Page 19: Connect Output Devices

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Connect Output Devices For connection of additional output devices to be controlled by the ENVIROMUX, terminals labeled "Output Relays" have been provided. The 4 pairs of contacts will work as switches to either close or open (switch ON or OFF) when used. The switch position is configured on the Sensor Configuration page (page 26).

  • Page 23: 48Vdc Power Option

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM 48VDC Power Option The ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16-48V has connections on the rear for a user-supplied 48VDC power supply. This is typically used when the ENVIROMUX is installed in a Telecom environment. The ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16-48V will accept a DC power source between 36~72VDC (48VDC nominal), positive or negative polarity.
  • Page 24: Overview - Use And Operation

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM OVERVIEW - USE AND OPERATION The ENVIROMUX is controlled via RS232 or Ethernet using a terminal emulator, web browser, or SNMP monitor. The user interfaces are for viewing and configuring sensor data and system settings. However, full configuration of the system can be done only through the Web browser due to graphics limitations in the other interfaces.
  • Page 25: Data And Event Logging

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Data and Event Logging The ENVIROMUX can log sensor readings, sensor alerts, alert handling, sensor connections/removals, and user logins/logouts. The logs can be viewed at any time through the web interface (page 48). Additionally, as entries are generated, they can be emailed or sent as SNMP traps.
  • Page 26 NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM There are 2 ways to cascade ENVIROMUX: Direct Connect- The units can be connected together through an expansion cable that can be as long as 25ft (depending on how many units are cascaded). See page 14 for how to install with an expansion cable. Ethernet Connect- The units can be connected via the Ethernet to expand the number of sensors.
  • Page 27: Device Discovery Tool

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM DEVICE DISCOVERY TOOL In order to easily locate the ENVIROMUX on a network, the NTI Device Discovery Tool may be used. A link to the Discovery Tool is provided on the web page that appears when you insert the instruction manual CD provided into your CD ROM drive. Click on the link or browse the CD and click on the file discover.html .
  • Page 28: Use And Operation Via Web Interface

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM USE AND OPERATION VIA WEB INTERFACE A user may monitor and configure the settings of any device connected to the ENVIROMUX using the Web Interface via any web browser (see page 2 for supported web browsers). To enable the Web Interface, connect the ENVIROMUX to the Ethernet (page 13).

Notify Again: Specifies the amount of time before an alert message is repeated.
  • Page 32: Internal Sensors

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Internal Sensors ENVIROMUX has three on-board sensors, which are permanently present: one temperature sensor one humidity sensor one power (battery) sensor Internal sensors are monitored and fully configurable just as External Sensors are (see Figure 24 and page 27). Internal sensors are always shown in the left menu of the web page and they cannot be removed.
  • Page 33: Figure 23- External Sensor Reading

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM minimum level maximum level maximum threshold minimum threshold Figure 23- External Sensor Reading If the sensor is in alert status, the user has the option to either acknowledge the alert or dismiss it. If the user acknowledges the alert, no additional alert messages will be sent during that alert status cycle.
  • Page 34: External Sensor Configuration

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM External Sensor Configuration Type Description: Each sensor can be given a unique description. Descriptions can be from 1-80 characters in length and include most characters. They cannot contain a backslash ( \ ) or quotation mark ( " ). Descriptions will be used in e-mail alerts in the DESCRIPTION field.
  • Page 35: Figure 25- Extra Fields On Current Sensor Configuration Page

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Figure 25- Extra fields on Current Sensor Configuration page Thresholds Minimum Threshold: The user must define the lowest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a value below this threshold, the sensor will move to alert status. The assigned value should be within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level and lower than the assigned Maximum Threshold value.
  • Page 36: Alert Timing

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Alert Timing Alert Delay: The alert delay is an amount of time the sensor must be in an alert condition before an alert is sent. This provides some protection against false alarms. The Alert Delay value can be set for 0-999 seconds or minutes. Example: The maximum threshold of a temperature sensor is 90 F, and the temperature of the monitored area is fluctuating between 88 and 91 degrees:...

  • Page 38: Contact Sensors

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Contact Sensors Contact Sensors are sensors that close or open a contact according to the sensor condition. Their presence and their type cannot be automatically detected by the RJ45 Sensor port. The sensors have to be manually added to the unit list by the administrator or a user with administrator privileges.
  • Page 39: Digital Inputs

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Digital Inputs The “Digital In” terminals (page 11) are for easy installation of contact sensors (as opposed to using the RJ45 sensor ports). Connect up to 8 different contact sensors having either 2-wire contacts (for open or closed circuit sensing) or 4-wire contacts (for open or closed circuit sensors requiring 12V power supplies to operate).
  • Page 40: Output Relays

    NTI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Output Relays There are 4 output relays available for the control of external devices. These devices may be switched ON or OFF provided they do not exceed the maximum ratings for the output relay: 30VDC, 1A or 100VAC, 0.5A (see “Output Relays” specifications on page 66).
