Congratulations on your purchase of the Sensaphone IMS-4000 Infrastructure Monitoring System. This one-of-a-kind
solution will change the way you think about computer room and network monitoring. The system is designed to be a
comprehensive method of ensuring 100% up-time of your computer systems. By monitoring all aspects of your computer
room, including environmental conditions and network equipment, the system will keep you informed of the status of your
infrastructure. Monitored conditions can include temperature levels, humidity levels, line voltage, leak detection, server
response, UPS systems, and more. The system allows the computer professional to be notified immediately of any detected
problems. Notification can occur via voice telephone call, pager, e-mail, or fax. An internal battery backup system insures
that the unit will continue to run if main power fails. The system also includes the ability to remotely perform diagnostic
tests via Touch-Tone commands or e-mail. And with the IMS-4000 PowerGate, you can also remotely reboot equipment.
