NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM
121
USB PORT
The ENVIROMUX are each equipped with USB Type A female ports on the front and rear panel for connection of a USB flash
drive, a GSM modem or for receiving alert messages via SMS, or a USB LCD Monitor (page 68).
The ports are compatible with USB 2.0 Full Speed flash drives. When enabled (page 117) and with the USB flash drive
connected, the Event and Data Logs will be written to a text file on the flash drive in addition to the memory in the
ENVIROMUX.
When a modem is connected (page 17), it will automatically be sensed by the ENVIROMUX (page 71).
When an USB LCD monitor is connected, and a selection is made as to what will be viewed on the monitor (page 68),
the ENVIROMUX will automatically send video to the connected monitor.

To enable recording logs to a flash drive,
1. Connect a FAT32 formatted flash drive to an available USB port on the ENVIROMUX. Make sure there is plenty of space on it.
2. Apply a checkmark to the check box “Enable Log to Flash Drive”, click “Save”, change “Unmount” to “Mount” and click “Save”
again on the Log Settings page (page 117).
While the flash drive is present, the Event and Data Logs will be written to a text file on the flash drive in addition to the memory in
the ENVIROMUX.
Note: When using the USB port with a flash drive, be sure to remove the checkmark from the “Enable Log to Flash
Drive”, click “Save”, change “Mount” to “Unmount” and click “Save” again in the Log Settings page (page 117) before
removing the flash drive from the port. Failure to do so may result in a loss of data stored on the drive.
Note: Only 1 flash drive can be connected to the ENVIROMUX at a time. Additional drives will be ignored.
Note: The file system of the flash drive must be formatted FAT32 (not NTFS).
SERIAL CONTROL
The ENVIROMUX can be controlled serially through a text menu using one of these methods:
- a terminal program (e.g. HyperTerminal) from a PC connected to the RJ45 “RS232” port (page 15),
- a terminal program from a PC connected to the USB “Console” Port (page 15),
- Telnet protocol using an Ethernet connection (page 16),
- SSH protocol using an Ethernet connection (page 16).
Either of these methods will work to access the ENVIROMUX text menu. The text menu can be used to control most functions of
the ENVIROMUX as an alternative to the Web Interface (page 29). For more on using the text menu, see the Serial Control
Manual.
