LAN and Internet connections.
In the example on the facing page, there are three PCs with FastTrak SX4000
series and S150 SX4 Controller cards connected to the company's LAN. The
PAM Message Agent runs on each of the PCs with a FastTrak card. The PAM
Message Server runs on the company's file server. The PAM Monitoring Utility
runs on networked PCs and also on remote PCs connecting to the company
network through the Internet. With this arrangement, you can monitor RAID
condition and activity from offsite, such as a hotel room or home office.
