Room Alert 4E Introduction
Introduction
What Room Alert 4E Is
The Room Alert 4E ID Box is one of AVTECH Software’s (AVTECH) hardware solutions for ‘Advanced
Computer Room Environment Monitoring, Alerting & Automatic Corrective Action’. It is designed
specifically to monitor 1-3 digital temperature or digital temperature/humidity sensors and 1 switch
sensor in distributed locations spanning several hundred feet. The Room Alert 4E additionally allows
unlimited alert notifications via email to devices like computers, mobile phones, BlackBerrys, iPhones,
pagers and PDAs. Users can set up thresholds for temperatures that are rising or falling and easily work
with Room Alert 4E through their favorite web browser. Status of attached sensors for Power, Smoke,
Flood, Air Flow and more can be viewed in real-time. Because each Room Alert 4E ID Box is SNMP
enabled, they can easily be monitored by software applications like Device ManageR, Tivoli, OpenView,
Unicenter, Big Brother, Nagios, What’s Up Gold, SolarWinds and others.
Room Alert 4E is designed to easily work with AVTECH’s Device ManageR software which is
included FREE and is designed to set up, monitor and manage unlimited numbers of Room Alert and/or
TemPageR units across your network. Device ManageR will log and graph all sensor data, allow for
Pings, firmware updating and much more. It will significantly enhance the alert notification capabilities
to allow notification to individuals, groups, hierarchies, different people for different sensors/locations,
and different people for different times of the day. With Device ManageR alert notification methods can
be expanded to include email, email-to-SMS, actions such as toggling Signal Tower LEDs, sending URL
Web Requests and more. If you have not looked at Device ManageR before, take a look because it truly
is one of the easiest and most powerful solutions to use and is included for FREE with your purchase.
Room Alert 4E is a member of AVTECH’s Room Alert product line. There are several powerful
Room Alert models designed to monitor environmental conditions in the data center like temperature,
humidity, main / UPS power, flood / water, smoke / fire, entry / intruder, air flow and more. All Room
Alert models come with a license to run AVTECH’s Device ManageR software.

Benefits Of Using Room Alert 4E
Know immediately when important or critical temperature changes and extremes occur within a
computer room, data center or other facility that could lead to expensive downtime, damaged equipment,
lost worker productivity or denied server access. Providing early warnings about situations that could
damage hardware, threaten uptime or block system access allows staff and management to take actions
that can avoid or minimize an events’ impact on servers, the network, users, recovery insurance and the
emergency IT budget.
