Monitoring With PageR Enterprise (PageR)
PageR is a network-wide monitoring application included (bundled) with the purchase of a Room Alert
Signal Tower unit. The license level included will depend on the quantity of units purchased and can
be upgraded for greater capacity or functionality at any time by speaking to your Product Specialist.
The PageR software offers the ability to monitor the Room Alert Signal Tower unit via SNMP Query or
SNMP Trap and provides more exibility and control over when alert notications are sent and which
notication methods are available for use. PageR includes powerful features allowing unlimited alerting
to individuals and groups, hierarchies, dependencies, scheduling, automatic corrective actions, and the
ability to monitor any server, device or event worldwide across the network. All this is possible from a
single installation, with no rules and no agents. PageR is a signicant benet of the overall Room Alert
Signal Tower package. It can be used as your primary network monitoring application or in conjunction
with other monitoring applications.
For instructions on conguring PageR to monitor a Room Alert Signal Tower unit, please refer to the
‘Monitor Room Alert Signal Tower With PageR Enterprise’ application note included with your package.
This application note is also available on the AVTECH.com website in the ‘Downloads’ section.
Alert Thresholds
The ‘Alerts’ tab is used to congure sensor labels and to set temperature thresholds for when alerts will
be generated. Sensor labels can be up to 14 characters in length. AVTECH recommends modifying the
sensor labels to reect the location of the sensor to make it easier to know the temperature of a specic
location with a quick glance at the status screen.
High and low thresholds can be dened for each temperature sensor. If the current temperature
rises above the high threshold or falls below the low threshold, an alert will be generated. When the
temperature returns to a normal state, the alert will clear and a follow-up alert will be sent.
NOTE: The temperature sensors can be calibrated by entering correction values in the ‘Adjust’ eld for each temperature sensor.
Alert thresholds for switch sensors connected to the Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box are set by
specifying either ‘closed’ or ‘open’. Please refer to the documentation received for any switch sensors
purchased to determine the ‘normal’ state (open or closed) of the sensor. Next, select the opposite
state (i.e. not normal) to setup the Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box to send an alert when the alarm
condition exists.
