Tempurity Requirements

• The Tempurity Server and Tempurity Monitor components each can run on 32 or 64-bit Windows 2003 Server, Windows XP, or Small Business Server operating systems.
   
• Access to TCP/IP wired or wireless network connections are required by Tempurity Servers, clients, and Networked Robotics' proprietary NTMS network hardware.
   
• Depending on the hardware used, temperatures can be measured from -230C to over 1000C.
   
• When using the method of direct connections for data collection from monitored devices, the monitored device must be supported by Networked Robotics hardware. The list of supported connections changes, but in general see the "Products" page on the Networked Robotics web site.

   
• When using the method of alarm contacts to monitored devices, the monitored device must have either normally open or normally closed alarm contacts.

   
• The system is subject to network security. Firewalls, router configurations, security software, and spam filtering software can affect the operation of the system. Tempurity Version 2 is designed to work in environments that maintain full anti-spam protection within customer organizations.
   
• 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.
   
• TCP port 80 and port 3010 should be open to all Tempurity Servers from Tempurity Monitor client machines.
   
• Networked Robotics recommends that all Tempurity Servers and at least one Tempurity Monitor be power-protected with Universal Power Supplies (UPS).
   
• Tempurity Servers must be capable of sending mail over port 25 to a mail server.
   
• It is preferable that UDP broadcasts be open on networks that hold Networked Robotics hardware.
