InfoStation Monitoring Utility (InfoMon

®

)

InfoMon is a web-based monitoring utility that runs under the Windows O/S. This free utility
(and its accompanying User's Guide) is available for download at the StorCase web site
(http://www.storcase.com).

The primary purpose of InfoMon is to continuously monitor the environmental status and
indicate alarm conditions inside the InfoStation chassis via a serial connection to a PC. InfoMon
also provides the User the ability to easily configure both device and chassis settings with
a few clicks of the mouse!

In addition, InfoMon allows the User to monitor the statuses and temperatures of individual
InfoStation modules and drive bays, etc., and can provide "real-time" updates via an Internet
connection. With the recent addition of the InfoMon Call Home

®

feature, this information can

also be sent to a specific site for access by StorCase technical support staff in order to assist
with system troubleshooting. The Call Home feature also provides the ability to set-up a paging
function for notification of environmental alarm or warning conditions.
