NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The ENVIROMUX Enterprise Environment Monitoring System (ENVIROMUX) provides a way to supervise, from a remote
location, the environmental conditions and security in cabinets and rooms containing servers, hubs, switches and other network
components. Input data is filtered, collected, analyzed and processed to instantly and accurately display the status of the room.
The user is able to specify parameters for all monitored conditions: if the parameters are exceeded, the unit will signal an alarm,
which may include several pre-defined processes.
The ENVIROMUX-16D, our most feature-filled model, includes sensors that monitor 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.
All models are capable of monitoring external RS485 sensors and additional digital contact-type sensors (often called opencollector, contact-closure, relay-style, normal-open, or normal-closed). All sensors are sold separately, available from NTI.
ENVIROMUX includes output relays to control devices such as door locks, keypads, and circulation fans. The ENVIROMUX-16D
and ENVIROMUX-5D also include outputs specifically for the connection of an alarm siren and/or beacon.
The external sensors sold by NTI will monitor temperature and humidity, monitor AC line voltage, frequency, and current,
detect smoke, and much more. The temperature and humidity sensors will provide current readings as well as alerts when
thresholds are exceeded. The AC line monitor detects AC line input voltages between 50~250V AC, the Frequency (Hertz)
between 47~63Hz, and the Power (Current) up to 12 amperes from a single AC line. The remainder of the sensors will simply
provide alerts. These sensors can be manufactured by any third party, provided the al ert notification method is compatible. Each
of the aforementioned NTI sensors will connect to the ENVIROMUX via RJ45 connectors and CAT5 cable.
The ENVIROMUX can also work with both 4-wire and 2-wire contact-style sensors (4-wire sensors require a power
connection, 2-wire do not). An external power supply for some 4-wire sensors may be required (sold separately). Screw
terminals are provided for the connection of external contact-style sensors.
The Ethernet provides the main user interface for the ENVIROMUX. The ENVIROMUX provides data logging that can
be viewed via a web browser and send alerts via email, Syslog, SNMP traps, SMS text messages and front panel LEDs. USB
ports are provided for the connection of a USB modem and for downloading log data to a USB flash drive.
Features: (see Feature Differences chart on next page for more details)

INSTALLATION
Mounting Instructions-16D
The ENVIROMUX-16D was designed to either sit on a shelf or be mounted in a rack. For mounting in a rack It includes a rack
mount kit to make attachment easy.
1. Attach the ears to the ENVIROMUX using the #6-32x3/16" flat Phillips-head screws (6) provided as shown in the
illustration below.
FYI: The same hole pattern is provided at the front and rear of the ENVIROMUX, enabling the ENVIROMUX to be
mounted with the front facing out or rear facing out.
2. The holes in the ears should line up with pre-threaded holes in the sides of the ENVIROMUX. Tighten the screws
securely.
Figure 1- Secure rack mount ears to ENVIROMUX-16D
3. Install 4 cage nuts to the rack in locations that line up with the holes in the mounting ears on the ENVIROMUX.
4. Secure the ENVIROMUX to the rack using four #10-32x3/4” screws and cage nuts (provided). Be sure to tighten all
Note: Do not block power supply vents in the ENVIROMUX case. Be sure to enable adequate airflow in front of and

NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Mounting Instructions-5D / -2D
The ENVIROMUX-5D and -2D can either be placed on a solid surface, mounted to a wall, or mounted to an accessible surface
within rack (Zero-RU). To mount to a wall or other surface, first remove the screws holding the mounting tabs to the rear of the
box. Rotate the tabs such that they extend from the back of the box, and attach the tabs with the screws removed. Now the
ENVIROMUX can be secured to any convenient surface. Use appropriate hardware (not supplied) when mounting.
Figure 3- Rotate the tabs for Zero-RU mounting
If rack-mounting is preferred, the ENVIROMUX-RK1-5D or ENVIROMUX-RK1-2D rack-mount kit can be used (sold separately).
Simply attach the ears (instructions included with the kit) and secure to a rack with the hardware provided.
FYI: Two sets of mounting holes are provided on the side of the ENVIROMUX to enable the ears to be attached su ch that
the ENVIROMUX can be mounted with the front facing out or rear facing out, as desired.

NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Sensor Attachment
Connect the desired sensors (sold separately) to the available ports on the ENVIROMUX. Sensors come with one of two
connection methods, RJ45 and individual wires for terminal connection. This section explains both methods of connection.
Configuration of these sensors will come later in this
manual.
RJ45 Sensor Ports
1. Connect each external sensor having an RJ45 male
connector on it (ENVIROMUX-STS, ENVIROMUXSHS, ENVIROMUX-STHS, ENVIROMUX-LDS) to one
of the female connectors labeled "RJ45 Sensors" on
the ENVIROMUX. Male connectors should snap into
place. Cables may be up to 1000 feet in length. See
page 121 for wiring specification and pinout.
Note: It is very important to locate the temperature
and/or humidity sensors away from ventilation sources
and fans.
Figure 4- Sensors connected by cables with RJ45 connectors
The RJ45 SENSORS ports can be used to connect a variety of sensors. Specifically on the ENVIROMUX-16D, the combined
power load of all 12VDC sensors on each row of ports (ports 1-8 is one row and ports 9-16 is the second) cannot exceed 500mA
per row. Some sensors use more power than others. The table below provides the top power users:
12VDC Power
Sensor
ENVIROMUX-S420MA 120 ENVIROMUX-ACLM-V 70
ENVIROMUX-S420MA-24V 130 ENVIROMUX-S5VDC(-5V) 100
ENVIROMUX-ACLM-P 100
Caution: Be careful not to overload the ENVIROMUX-16D as failure may occur and damage to the ENVIROMUX may
result.
2. Some sensors do not have RJ45 connectors on them
and instead have terminal blocks. These can either be
connected to the "DIGITAL IN" connectors or they can
be terminated and plugged into the remaining RJ45
connectors (see figure-right ). (The illustration uses
CAT5 patch cable to make cable connection easy.)
Some examples of these sensors include ENVIROMUXIMD, ENVIROMUX-IMD-CM, ENVIROMUX-VSS,
ENVIROMUX-SDS, and ENVIROMUX-GBS. Cables
may be up to 1000 feet in length.
Note: For sensors requiring 5VDC power source,
connect the wht/brown wire to pin 4 instead of pin 7.

Digital In Terminals
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 DIGITAL IN terminals as shown below. If the sensors require a 12V
power source to operate, additional 12V and ground terminals have been provided on each model, with restrictions as shown.
Connect each two-wire or four-wire contact sensor using 16-26 AWG wire.
FYI: The terminal block is removable for easy sensor wire attachment if needed.
NOTE: If used, the ENVIROMUXEDR-SF\ENVIROMUX-EDR-SCR

image) to a set of “DIGITAL IN” contacts.
7-lower image) and connect to an “RJ45 Sensor” port.
The twisted orange sensing cable should be placed flat on the surface (usually the floor) where liquid detection is desired. If tape
is required to hold the sensor in place, be sure to only apply tape to the ends, exposing as much of the sensor as possible. At
least 5/8" of the sensor must be exposed for it to function. (See Figure 7)
For added range (up to 1000 more feet), use an ENVIROMUX-LDS (shown in Figure
10
NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Figure 7- Secure liquid detection sensor with tape
To test the ENVIROMUX-LD(S);
1. Configure the sensor (page 42). (Normal Status set to “Open”, Sampling Period set to 5 seconds.)
2. Submerge at least ½ inch of the exposed twisted orange wire (not the wrapped end) for up to 30 seconds. Do NOT use
distilled water as water must be conductive.
3. Monitor the sensor (page 28) to see the sensor “Value” change from “Open” (dry) to “Closed” (wet).
4. Dry the exposed area of sensor and the sensor “Value” should change back to “Open” within 30 seconds.

Alarm(Beacon/Siren) Connections
Terminals have been provided for connection of the ENVIROMUX-BCN-R Beacon and ENVIROMUX-SRN-M Siren to use for
visual alerts and audible alerts when configured. Devices such as this can be installed in locations best suited to get
attention. The terminals for these connections will accept 16-26 AWG wire.
WARNING
Devices connected to
either the Beacon or the
Siren terminals cannot
exceed 180mA contact
load.
Note: The maximum combined load that can be
connected to the “AUX PWR” terminals on the
ENVIROMUX-5D / -2D is 500mA. (For the
ENVIROMUX-16D the maximum is 150mA.)
Figure 9- Connect visual and audible external indicators

NTI ENTERPRISE 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 contacts will work as switches to either close or open circuits (switch ON or OFF) when used. The
“default” position of the switch is configurable independently (page 47) and how the switch reacts to sensor alerts can also be
configured on any Sensor Configuration page (page 32).
The status page and any sensor configuration page describe the Output Relay’s status as either “active” or “inactive”.
• When a relay is “active”, the circuit will be closed between the Normally Open and Common contacts of the relay.
• When a relay is “inactive”, the circuit will be closed between the Normally Closed and Common contacts of the
relay.

Modem Connection
The ENVIROMUX includes support for a GSM modem to send alert notifications via SMS to a cell phone if desired. Either a USB
GSM modem (all
can receive SMS alert messages directly on their cell phone. When a USB 3G modem is used, SMS alert messages, all email
messages, and web interface control over the ENVIROMUX is possible.
USB GSM Modem
To use a USB GSM Modem, a USB modem (with GSM SIM card configured for SMS messaging) can be connected to one of the
USB ports on the ENVIROMUX. The remaining USB Type A connector(s) on the ENVIROMUX is available for the connection of
a USB Flash Drive for data logging (pages 94 and 97).
Once installed, the ENVIROMUX will sense the modem and provide status information on the “Enterpris e Setup” page in the web
browser (page 58).
The USB GSM modems that have been tested and are confirmed to be compatible with the ENVIROMUX include:
• HiLink E303 3G Modem (NTI # ENVIROMUX-3GU)
• E-Lins M300D Industrial USB Modem

Cell phone Mini SIM card for GSM modem
A SIM card or Subscriber Identity Module is a portable memory chip used in some models of cellular telephones. It can be thought
of as a mini hard disk that automatically activates the phone (or in this case the GSM modem) into which it is inserted.
SIM cards are available in two standard sizes. The first is the size of a credit card (85.60 mm × 53.98 mm x 0.76 mm). The newer,
more popular miniature-version has a width of 25 mm, a height of 15 mm, and a thickness of 0.76 mm.
Some cellular service providers use Mini SIM cards. Verify with your service provider that their Mini SIM card will work with GSM
/ 3G GSM modems before making a purchase.
Your USB modem can be used for 3 different levels of functionality:
¾ SMS Messaging Only
¾ 3G Data Transfer And SMS Messaging
¾ 3G Data Transfer, SMS Messaging, and Web Interface
SMS Messaging Only
When using your modem only for SMS messaging, make sure the SIM card is for GSM communication (not CDMA), configured to
send SMS messages, and that it is not locked (some SIM cards are "locked" to search for a specific IMEI number of the phone to
operate).
Note: When configured for SMS messaging only, no access to the ENVIROMUX will be possible through the modem.
16
NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
3G Data Transfer And SMS Messaging
To use your USB modem for 3G Data connection, your SIM card must be configured to support 3G data connections and have
either public or private IP address. Make sure the account associated with the SIM card also has SMS messaging enabled if
this feature will be used. With 3G data connection support, the ENVIROMUX can be configured (page 62) to send all alert
messaging through the USB modem instead of requiring an Ethernet connection for these messages.
Note: When configured for 3G data transfer and SMS messaging only, no access to the ENVIROMUX will be possible
through the modem.
3G Data Transfer, SMS Messaging, and Web Interface
To access the web interface through your USB modem, your SIM card must be configured to support 3G data connections and
have a public IP address. The ENVIROMUX can be configured (page 62) to send all alert messaging through the USB modem
instead of requiring an Ethernet connection for these messages. With a public IP address, you will also be able to access the web
interface using the IP address of the SIM card for full control of the ENVIROMUX through the modem.
Make sure the account associated with the SIM card also has SMS messaging enabled if this feature will be used.
Contact your service provider to obtain a SIM card with the features you desire.

NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
Serial GSM Modem
To use a serial modem (ENVIROMUX-16D/-5D only), connection of the modem to the ENVIROMUX requires a CAT 5 patch cable
and RJ45-to-DB9 male adapter (supplied). The modem connects to the “RS232 AUX” port. The firmware in the ENVIROMUX
must be version 1.3 or later.
Operation and use of the modem will be the same as that of the USB GSM modem. Once installed, the ENVIROMUX will sense
the modem and provide status information on the “Enterprise Setup” page (page 58).
The “AUX PWR” terminals of
the ENVIROMUX-16D may
be used to power the modem
provided the modem does
not require more than 150mA
to operate.
Up to 1000 feet of CAT5E (350Mhz) cable may be used at a baud rate of 115,200bps.
