7. Alarm Configuration
When properly configured, the TSM/RSM can monitor temperature readings, ping
command response and a number of other factors at network installation sites and
log this information for future review. When any monitored condition exceeds user-
defined trigger levels, the TSM/RSM can also notify support personnel via Email, Syslog
Message or SNMP trap. In addition to the monitoring and notification capabilities
provided by standard TSM/RSM series units, RSM-8R8-CM series units can also
measure and record current, power and voltage conditions at each power outlet.
