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. If
laptop or netbook computers are used as primary or alternate
Tempurity Servers, they usually need to be manually restarted if
the power ceases.
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.
UDP broadcasts should not be blocked on
networks that hold Networked Robotics hardware.
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.
Check the manuals for individual Networked
Robotics products Depending on the hardware used, temperatures can
be measured from -230C to over 1000C.
