    Action: This is the response to the event. For example, the PX3TS notifies the system administrator of the event via email. If you want the PX3TS to perform one action at a regular interval instead of waiting until an event occurs, you can schedule that action. For example, you can make the PX3TS email the temperature report every hour.

  • Page 786: Sensor Threshold Settings

    Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information Sensor Threshold Settings This section explains the thresholds settings for a numeric sensor. Thresholds and Sensor States A numeric sensor has four thresholds: Lower Critical, Lower Warning, Upper Warning and Upper Critical. The threshold settings determine how many sensor states are available for a certain sensor and the range of each sensor state.
  • Page 787 Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information above upper critical Upper Critical above upper warning Upper Warning normal Lower Warning below lower warning Lower Critical below lower critical Available sensor states:...
  • Page 788 Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information The more thresholds are enabled for a sensor, the more sensor states are available for it. The "normal' state is always available regardless of whether any threshold is enabled. For example:  When a sensor only has the Upper Critical threshold enabled, it has two sensor states: normal and above upper critical.

  • Page 789: To Assert" And Assertion Timeout

    Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information "To Assert" and Assertion Timeout If multiple sensor states are available for a specific sensor, the PX3TS asserts a state for it whenever a bad state change occurs. To assert a state: To assert a state is to announce a new, "worse" state.
  • Page 790 3 seconds. How "Assertion Timeout" is helpful: If you have created an event rule that instructs the PX3TS to send notifications for assertion events, setting the "Assertion Timeout" is helpful for eliminating a number of notifications that you may receive in case the sensor's readings fluctuate around a certain threshold.

  • Page 791: To De-Assert" And Deassertion Hysteresis

    Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information "To De-assert" and Deassertion Hysteresis After the PX3TS asserts a worse state for a sensor, it may de-assert that state later on if the readings improve.

    15mA Altitude Correction Factors If a Raritan differential air pressure sensor is attached to your device, the altitude you enter for the device can serve as an altitude correction factor. That is, the reading of the differential air pressure sensor will be multiplied by the correction factor to get a correct reading.

  • Page 797: Ways To Probe Existing User Profiles

    As Internet communications are carried out on the basis of IP addresses, appropriate DNS server settings are required for mapping domain names (host names) to corresponding IP addresses, or the PX3TS may fail to connect to the given host. Therefore, DNS server settings are important for external authentication.

  • Page 808: Tls Certificate Chain

    A certificate or a chain of certificates is used for trusting a TLS server that you want to connect. The receiver, such as PX3TS, can trust a TLS server only after an appropriate certificate (chain) which is "related to" that TLS server's certificate is uploaded to the receiver.
  • Page 809 Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information  Certificate A. The self-signed certificate issued by Issuer A. Issuer A is a root CA. The above three certificates form a certificate path, which is called the "certificate chain". Each certificate in the chain is the issuer certificate of the certificate that follows it.
  • Page 810 When uploading a (partial) chain onto the PX3TS, it means you trust each certificate in the chain to certify the authenticity of certificates a server sends to PX3TS. Therefore, at least the root certificate must be authentic, issued by a CA you trust, and downloaded from that CA over a secure channel.
  • Page 811 Appendix I: Additional PX3TS Information For PX3TS, if any required certificate is missing, a certificate error message similar to the following is shown on the PX3TS web interface. It is NOT recommended to upload the server certificate to the receiver except when it is a self-signed certificate.
