iSIC User‟s Manual 83
For Email alarms:
iChart can be configured to use either SMTP or MAPI for email alarming. For SMTP, iChart
will need to know the SMTP server address, server port, the username and password for
an email account on the server as well as the authentication type.
For SMS messaging:
iChart can be configured to use SMS messaging for parameter alarms. For SMS
messaging, iChart uses an HTTP API and uses the default web port (typically 80) of the
PC to send the messages.
For running iChart software on Windows Vista:
The NexSens engineering team has evaluated compatibility issues between the iChart
product line and the Vista operating system. NexSens runs Vista on employee machines
(specific versions include Vista Home Basic and Vista Enterprise). iChart is used several
times a day with different configurations and systems (for development, tech support,
and testing). Most of the Vista specific requirements involve the changes in Vista
program security that requires additional administrative rights to use software.
To date the engineering team has found the following Vista requirements:
o The user logged into the computer must have administrative rights to install and
run software (cannot be a User account)
o iChart does not support Aero Vista theme
o iChart must be run as an administrator (right click on shortcut and go to
compatibility tab, there is a checkbox for Run as Administrator)
o iChart must be registered after install (the 30 day trial does not run in Vista)

NexSens recommends the A55 mount kit be used for all outdoor applications when mounting to
metal poles, wooden posts, or walls. The A55 kit includes a ¼” aluminum plate, u-bolts, and lag
screws. Use the supplied u-bolts for mounting to metal poles less than 2 3/8” diameter.
Attach the plate to the enclosure using the supplied hardware as shown below.
