Tempurity Requirements

  • The Tempurity Monitor software runs on 32 or 64-bit Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP,  or Small Business Server operating systems.  The Tempurity Server software component runs on  Windows Server 2003, XP, or Small Business Server. Check with Networked Robotics to run the server component on other operating systems.
     
  • Access to TCP/IP wired or wireless network connections are required by Tempurity Servers, clients, and Networked Robotics' proprietary NTMS network hardware.
     
  • The system is subject to network security. Firewalls, router configurations, security software, and spam filtering software that can affect the operation of the system.
     
  • Tempurity Servers and Monitors require at least 1024 x 768 graphic resolution.
     
  • In Tempurity Version 2 an e-mail account is required on a mail server which will be used as the "from" address from which alarm notifications can be sent.
     
  • The System requires that at least one computer be running 24 hours a day. Uninterruptible Power Supplies are recommended for key computers, mail servers, and network components.
     
  • Computers used as Tempurity Servers and Monitors should have a BIOS option that allows the computer to restart after a power interruption such "AC Power Loss Restart" or "Restore on AC Power Loss".  Most desktop computers have such an option. 
     
  • TCP port 80 and port 3010 need to be open on all Tempurity Servers in order to provide access to remote Tempurity Monitor client machines. Tempurity Server computers must not be running web hosting software.
     
  • Tempurity Servers must be capable of sending mail over port 25 to a mail server.
     
  • Voice alarm notifications (usually to land lines) require a fixed external IP address. The "Voice" type of alarm notification can not be used if your IT infrastructure uses NAT firewalls with a large block of external IP addresses.
     
  • UDP broadcasts should not be blocked on networks that hold Networked Robotics hardware.
 
  • Check the manuals for individual Networked Robotics interface and sensor products. Depending on the hardware used, temperatures can be measured from -230C to over 1000C.
