21 Introduction This section provides information to help you manage specific aspects of
your Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client solution more effectively. The
topics covered here offer a complement to the Software User Manual,
covering points that are not necessarily directly related to using the software.
21.1 Overview The Smart-Vue wireless monitoring system lets you track various physical
parameters remotely, such as temperature, differential pressure, CO

levels,
and more. This section describes the components used in the Smart-Vue
wireless monitoring system. To start, the diagram below shows the basic
layout of a Smart-Vue wireless network.
Figure 57. Sample network with client/server architecture and wireless
modules
Smart-Vue wireless modules are equipped with internal or external sensors.
They collect data (readings) on a regular basis and transmit the information
wirelessly to a receiver that, in turn, transmits it to the central database
managed by Smart-Vue Server. The server collects the readings from the
wireless Smart-Vue modules. Wireless repeaters may be used, if necessary, to
extend the range between sensors and the receiver.
The Smart-Vue Client application enables you to manage system
configuration and all actions related to sensors, data, and users. Installed on
machines in your network, Smart-Vue Client accesses the server with the
central database containing sensor readings and all other system
information.
At any time, your Smart-Vue monitoring system may alert you in case of an
anomaly, such as a temperature reading that has gone outside an acceptable
range, or another type of technical problem, such as a low module battery or
disconnected sensor. Smart-Vue Client offers many different options to
handle alerts, including a highly visible screen display to show problems
