Also known as: Remote SNMP Environment Monitoring System, EMS, monitor networking closets, server room alert, IP temperature sensor, computer room humidity probe, critial infrastructure threat detection.
The ENVIROMUX® Enterprise Environment Monitoring System (EMS) monitors critical environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, liquid water presence, power, intrusion, and smoke. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via email-to-SMS or external USB modem).
The system includes three internal sensors: temperature, humidity and power. It also supports 16 external configurable sensors, eight digital input sensors, and four output relays for control of external devices.

The E-MICRO-TRH(P) Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP can function as an IP-connected remote sensor for the E-16D. To add a remote IP sensor, access the web interface and select Monitoring > IP Sensors. Click on the "Add New IP Sensor" link on the bottom and key in the description and IP address of the E-MICRO-TRH(P) to connect it to the E-16D. Up to eight remote IP sensors can be connected. All sensors connected, including the Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP, to the E-16D can be viewed on one summary page.
In addition to 8 E-MICRO IP sensors, the E-16D also supports 4 E-1W Remote 1-Wire Temperature/Humidity Sensors over IP.
The ENVIROMUX Server Environment Monitoring System gives total security to IT centers by providing early warnings about potential problems via email, LEDs, alarm beacon, siren, web page, network management (SNMP), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via external USB 3G modem).
When connected to an ENVIROMUX® E-16D, the E-ALDS Addressable Leak Detection Sensor monitors up to 4,000 feet of E-LDDC-x Liquid Location Detection Sensor Cable, and detects the specific location of liquid presence and if there is a break in the cable. In this example, water is detected at 714.3 feet.
The E-16D Large Enterprise Environment Monitoring System supports the RADIUS protocol. Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is a client/server protocol that provides centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting management for users who connect and use a network service. When a user accesses the ENVIROMUX system, an authentication request is sent to the RADIUS server to determine the user's permission level and authorizes access.
By connecting the E-DI16DO16 Digital Input/Open Collector Output Expander to the ENVIROMUX unit's RJ45 sensor port using up to 500 feet of CAT5/5e/6 cable, up to 16 additional smoke detectors can be added to each expander. Since the E-DI16DO16 does not supply power, the E-SDS-CELCP Low-Cost Smoke Detector Sensor (CE) with an included power supply should be connected to the expander using 22-gauge 2-wire sensor cables. Based on the desired number of smoke detectors, more expanders can be connected to the ENVIROMUX unit as long as there are RJ45 sensor ports available.
Other self-powered sensors, such as the E-IMD-P Infrared Motion Sensor and E-CMD-P Carbon Monoxide Detector will also work with this set-up. Each sensor can be located up to 1000 ft away from the expander.
Note: Since the ENVIROMUX unit does not provide power to the smoke detector, it cannot remotely reset the smoke detector power when connected through the E-DI16DO16. Unlatch the activated smoke detector by simply unplugging and replugging the power supply.
Note: When using the E-DI16DOR16-V2 Digital Input/Normally-Open Relay Contact Output Expander, the power supply for the smoke detectors can be run through a relay contact on the expander. This allows users to remotely power cycle if needed.
Note: The 12V/1A power supply included with the E-SDS-CELCP can provide power to additional E-SDS-CELC-V2 units through daisy chaining. The E-SDS-CELC(P) has a minimum operating voltage of 9V. As there will be power loss with this configuration, attention must be given to the gauge and length of the power conductors used to determine the number of units it can support and how far the units can go. Caution: If the single power supply fails, none of the smoke detectors in the string will work. Additional power supplies may be required to assure protection of the area should a power supply fail.
Events and Smart Alerts can be set-up to enable a configuration that will allow the disabling of motion sensors during the time an operator enters an enclosed area via a keypad, but will re-arm the motion sensors when he exits the area and re-enters the keypad code. This requires the keypad output relay, which will be programmed in "Start/Stop" mode instead of timed delay, to be connected as a digital input to the ENVIROMUX and an output relay from the ENVIROMUX that will activate the door strike when the correct code is entered.
For details on how to set up this configuration, refer to the Knowledge Base entry.
Set up the E-4GU-3/6 on one ENVIROMUX unit. Access the web interface of the ENVIROMUX equipped with the modem, and click on Administration > Enterprise, and expand SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Enable Server"; this only applies to the ENVIROMUX unit with the modem. Access the other ENVIROMUX units' web interface (no modem) and navigate to SMS Relay. Select the checkbox for "Use remote unit to send SMS" and in the textbox, "Remote unit IP Address," type in the IP address of the ENVIROMUX unit with the E-4GU-3/6. Configure any desired SMS alert settings on all ENVIROMUX units. Any SMS alert messages triggered on the other ENVIROMUX units will be sent through the Ethernet to the main SMS alert unit, which will then use the E-4GU-3/6 to send the messages.
This reduces the number of E-4GU-3/6 units needed to support SMS alerts when using multiple ENVIROMUX units. This SMS relay function is not restricted to identical units and can be integrated with any number and type of E-2D/5D/16D units. No management software is required to set up the SMS relay feature.
The E-16D present on a 10.x.x.x network is capable of sending email alerts to a public 153.x.x.x mail relay server.
Note: to use a DSL type router in this set up, set a gateway in the network settings of the E-16D to allow traffic to be sent to the 153.x.x.x network. The IP address of the router on the private 10.x.x.x network is the gateway.
The ENVIROMUX Enterprise Environment Monitoring System monitors Telect™ GMT fuse panel relay outputs and sends alerts in case of power loss, fuse break, or bay alarms. Configure digital inputs as "normally open" for proper operation.
"The E-16DDP system is installed in a parking garage ceiling, and is playing a key role in protecting the water pipes therein. The installer commented on the ease of installation, and it has already sent several alerts to the property management. I look forward to working with NTI again."
"Five years ago, we ran into trouble regarding instability of our source voltage and sometimes failing air-conditioning. We decided to look for a product which can monitor these things independently from our existing infrastructure. After a search we found your product, to which we can attach different kinds of sensors to monitor voltage, water, smoke and temperature. Most importantly, we can send SMS using a GSM dongle if something wrong is detected. Since purchasing the unit, the E-16D has warned us multiple times by SMS and email that it detected a deviation, and prevented our datacenter from going offline."
"We have been using the NTI E-16D ENVIROMUX Large Enterprise platform for a while, and I would have to say that I am impressed with the reliability, flexibility and scalability of the system. Every time one of our techs says "I wish there was a way to monitor x, y or z", the ENVIROMUX has had the ability either on board or available as a plug-in module to do so. The customer service of NTI has also made them a pleasure to work with. The ENVIROMUX platform definitely provides us with the insight into the remote parts of our network that we need to keep running effectively and efficiently."
"The ability to easily setup and configure the sensors and email information on the E-16D Large Enterprise Environment Monitoring System makes the product easy to use. I like the variety of sensors available at a reasonable cost."
"While shopping for environment monitoring equipment for our remote facilities I came across NTI's website. One call got me all the information I needed on the E-16D. After sharing the information with everyone, we couldn't believe the flexibility of these units. NTI allowed us to demo one of the units for 30 days. The quality and flexibility of product is great, plus NTI has a sensor for most anything you want to monitor. Another call allowed us to order two more units and all the sensors we needed. Now we can completely monitor and protect our remotes just by logging in through a web browser."
"Just wanted to let you know that we recently purchased the NTI E-16D for our Server Room. The interface is easy to navigate, and setup for multiple devices was quick. Monitoring is a real nice feature - having all the data on a single page is awesome. The automatic voice dialer accessory enhances our IT department crises strategy. The E-16D is feature rich with a wide selection of accessories. After researching several vendors for Environment Monitoring, this System was a great fit in our setting."
