InfoStation Monitoring Utility (InfoMon

®

)

The InfoStation 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. This

utility functions much like the User Interface Module, only more user-friendly!

InfoMon allows the User to monitor the statuses and temperatures of individual InfoStation

modules and drive bays, and will sound the PC speakers in the event of any alarms. This utility

also allows the user to customize the UI Module to suit individual needs.

To install and operate the InfoMon software, the computer system must meet the following

requirements:

Operating System

CPU
