Networked and Environmental Monitored POU Unit Configuration Network Configuration The unit’s network configuration is set on the Network tab of the Configuration page. Settings pertaining to the unit’s network connection are: DHCP: Allows the unit to request a dynamic IP address from a server on the network. Static IP Address/Net Mask/Gateway: When not using a dynamic address, enter static network configuration information here. Telnet Service: Enable or disable the built-in Telnet server.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU Time and Date The system clock is set on the Admin tab of the Configuration page. The unit comes preconfigured with the IP addresses of two NIST time servers and is set to the Central Time Zone (-0500 GMT). Should a local time server be preferred, enter its IP address into the “NTP primary server” box and click the “Save Changes” button. Clearing the time server addresses and clicking “Save Changes” will set the time servers back to the defaults.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU An SMTP server as well as “From” and “To” addresses are required to send e-mails. Some mail servers may require a username and password. In most cases, the username does not have to match the “From” address, but does need to be a valid user on the authenticating server. Microsoft Exchange servers will have to be set to allow SMTP relay from the IP address of the unit.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU SNMP The unit supports retrieval of all data via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v1, v2c, and v3. In addition, alarm traps can be sent to up to two IP addresses. The SNMP configuration is entered on the Monitoring tab of the Configuration page. The default community string is “public” and the MIB is downloadable via a link at the top of the unit’s web page.

SNMP: The unit can be configured to send SNMP traps to up to two trap servers. Buzzer: When a remote display is attached, the unit can turn on an audible alarm. The unit is capable of any combination of the above alarms at once.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU sensors to operate for several hours, the user can better understand what the normal variations are; thereby allowing the user to choose alarm thresholds that will not trigger numerous false alarms. Note: Changes in settings take a few moments to become active. Rapidly resetting alarm values may not provide the desired results. Allow up to 2 minutes after changing a setting before modifying it again. 32 Version 1.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU Sensors Overview All internal sensors are measured every 15 seconds. External sensors are measured every 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the number of devices connected. Sensor data collected by the unit gives useful trend analysis data. While all values are not absolute in relation to a known unit, trend analysis of the data allows users to view changes and draw useful conclusions about what is happening over time in the monitored environment.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU Note: The sensors use a serial communication protocol and are subject to network signaling constraints dependent on shielding, environmental noise, and length of wire. Typical installations allow runs of up to 600 feet of sensor wire. Data Logging and Display All data collected by the unit can be graphed, except kilowatt-hours. The Logging page allows the user to select graphed content to be logged.
Networked and Environmental Monitored POU Accessories Remote Display This small module can be mounted in an accessible spot inside or outside the rack or cabinet. A backlit LCD display scrolls the values of items selected on the Logging page. The display is connected to the main unit via a 4-conductor handset-style cord. The display’s onboard buzzer can be used in conjunction with E-Mail and SNMP to provide local alarming of error conditions.
