4. Enter the e-mail address of one or more recipients in the Collective email recipients field. Verify that the
recipient is not already listed in the Visible Peers section that displays at the bottom of the Collective Email
page to avoid duplication.
The Visible Peers section lists all gateways in the network that are participating in collective notification
(see Table 2 for details).
Note: UPSs must have a PXGX UPS Card to participate in collective notification.

Configuring EMP Settings
The optional Environmental Monitoring Probe (EMP) allows remote monitoring of the UPS's environment
through regular measurements of temperature and humidity through two external contacts.
The EMP is connected to the EMP port directly on the card with a standard Ethernet cable. Recognition is
automatic. The Environmental Monitoring Probe selection is added to the Device Data and Configuration
menus of the Web interface.
To configure the EMP settings:
1. Select Environmental Monitoring Probe from the Configuration menu.
2. For Contact #1 and #2, enter the Contact Description, such as External Contact #1 and External
Contact #2.
3. For Contact #1 and #2, select the Contact Type as Normally Open or Normally Closed from the pull-down
menu. Disabled is the default.
Note: The NetWatch clients shut down according to the parameters configured on the NetWatch
Configuration page (see page 29 for shutdown settings).
4. If Contact #1 or Contact #2 alarms remain active for a specified amount of time, you can signal the
NetWatch clients to shut down. To specify the amount of time, set the seconds for Contact #1 and #2 in
the OS Shutdown Delay field. Enter 1 to 600 seconds (1 second to 10 minutes) to enable the shutdown.
The default is 0, which means the NetWatch clients will not shut down.
5. To set the temperature alarm limits of the EMP, enter 32 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 70 degrees
Celsius) for the Temperature Upper Limit and the Temperature Lower Limit.
6. Use the Temperature Hysteresis to control the alarm when the current value is hovering around the limit.
When the EMP temperature measure activates the alarm, it can come out of the alarm state only by
dropping below the Temperature Hysteresis value. Enter a value between 0 and 10 percent. The default is
2 percent.
7. If the temperature alarm remains active for a specified amount of time, you can signal the NetWatch
clients to shut down. To specify the amount of time, set the seconds for the temperature alarm in the OS
Shutdown Delay. Enter 1 to 600 seconds (1 second to 10 minutes) to enable the shutdown. The default
is 0, which means the NetWatch clients will not be shut down.
8. To set the humidity limits of the EMP, enter 0 to 90 percent for the Humidity Upper Limit and the
Humidity Lower Limit. The default for the upper limit is 90; the default for the lower limit is 0.
9. Use the Humidity Hysteresis to control the alarm when the humidity percentage is hovering around the
alarm limit. When the EMP humidity measure activates the alarm, it can come out of the alarm state only
by dropping below the Humidity Hysteresis value. Enter a value between 0 and 20 percent.
