NTI MINI SERVER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The ENVIROMUX-MINI Server Environment Monitoring System is designed to monitor, from a remote location, the critical
environmental conditions in cabinets and rooms containing servers, hubs, switches and other network components. Specifically,
the ENVIROMUX-MINI will monitor temperature, humidity, and detect the presence of water on a flat surface (such as the floor).
The unit also has four sets of terminal block pairs for the connection of contact-closure sensors. Remote monitoring is provided via
a 10BaseT Ethernet web interface. The input data is filtered, collected, analyzed and processed to allow the user to configure it to
meet individual requirements. The user is able to specify parameters for all monitored signals. When a sensor e xceeds the
configured threshold, the unit will signal an alert. Alert methods include email, SMS, SNMP traps (MIBs), web-page alerts, and a
visual indicator (red LED).
Features and Applications
¾ Monitor and manage server room environmental conditions over IP.
¾ Monitors and operates at temperatures from 32°F to 104°F (0ºC and 40ºC) and 20% to 80% relative humidity.
¾ Optional support for harsh high temperature environments (See option- below)
¾ Sensors supported:
• 2 temperature/humidity sensors
• 1 liquid detection sensor
• 4 dry contact input devices
¾ Operates and configures via HTTP web page.
¾ 4 remote users can access the system simultaneously.
¾ Supports SMS alert messages via GSM modem (firmware version 1.31 or higher required)
¾ Supports WAP 2.0 compatible devices such as smartphones (firmware version 1.34 or higher required)
¾ Supports SMTP protocol
¾ Supports SNMP V1 MIB
¾ Supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and higher, Firefox 2.0 and higher, and Netscape Navigator 9
(firmware version 1.34 or higher required)
¾ Sensor alerts and log messages are sent using email, Syslog, and SNMP traps when any monitored environmental
condition exceeds a user-specified range.
¾ Sensor alerts, end of alerts, and log-ins are posted in message log, which is accessible through web interface.
¾ SNMP trap messages can be imported into Microsoft Excel
¾ Mounting tabs included for Zero-RU mounting
¾ Flash upgradeable firmware.
¾ Use in data centers, co-lo sites, web hosting facilities, telecom switching sites, POP sites, server closets, or any
unmanned area that needs to be monitored.
Options:
ENVIROMUX-MINI-IND- Industrial Server Environment Monitoring System for high temperature environments.
ENVIROMUX-MINI-IND will monitor and operate in temperatures from 32°F to 167°F (0ºC to 75ºC).
Note: Humidity sensors will only function properly at temperatures from 32° F to 104° F when used with ENVIROMUXMINI-IND.
ENVIROMUX-MINI-D- DIN Mounted Server Environment Monitoring System with bracket for mounting to a DIN rail for industrial
applications.
ENVIROMUX-MINI-O- Outdoor Server Environment Monitoring System with sealed, weatherproof,lockable enclosure
harsh environments, designed to work in temperatures from -4°F to 131°F (-20ºC to 55ºC).
When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via SMS messages from the built-in GSM
or 3G modem. The system is ideally suited to alert crop growers of frost events and irrigation system failures. See our website at
http://www.networktechinc.com/enviro-outdoor.html

INSTALLATION
Mount the Unit
The ENVIROMUX-MINI 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-MINI can be secured to any convenient surface. Use appropriate hardware (not supplied) when mounting.
Figure 1- Rotate the tabs for Zero-RU mounting
DIN Rail Mounting
The ENVIROMUX-MINI-D is for mounting to a DIN rails in a server rack. It is supplied with a DIN rail clip on the back. With the
clip installed, it can be readily snapped to a DIN rail and easily removed. Press the side of the clip with the metal spring in it
against the channel, rotate the ENVIROMUX-MINI-D into position, and release the pressure. Reverse the procedure to remove it.
