The modem must be connected to a USB port on the Smart-Vue Server
computer and into a dedicated analog telephone line.
18.3.2 How it Works In your Smart-Vue solution, the Smart-Vue Server application receives data
from the end-point modules being monitored, such as temperature, CO
2
, or
humidity sensors. One of the major advantages of the Smart-Vue Server
solution is that it alerts users or groups of users in case measured values from
end-point modules exceeds defined limits. The Smart-Vue Client software
application is used to define these limits as well as the recipients of related
alerts.
18.4 Installation
Procedure
The procedure described here assumes that you are installing your new USB
modem into an existing network in which the Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue
Client software and at least one Smart-Vue end-point module are already up
and running. You will need Administrator rights to access certain
configuration options. If you need more information, please refer to the
Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client Software User Manual for complete
details for using the software and configuring your products.
Do not plug the modem into your computer until you have installed the
software, and do not allow MS Windows to automatically search for modem
drivers before installing the drivers provided by Thermo Scientific.
It is essential for the correct drivers to be installed from the Smart-Vue
CD-ROM.
