Purpose
This technical note provides functional information about Server Technology's innovative solution featuring secure
®
Bluetooth
wireless technology for mobile monitoring using an Android device. This unique data center solution is
the first time Bluetooth wireless technology has been paired with the Cabinet Distribution Unit (CDU) for mobile
access that provides fast viewing of device operational data.
Using Server Technology's ST Eye mobile app, you can remotely monitor critical information about a CDU – with
easy access to power and environmental data – displayed directly on your Android device in the ST Eye user
interface.
The following areas of the Bluetooth
Hardware connection between the Bluetooth module and the CDU.
Security issues for the data center when using this solution.
Methods for discovering a Bluetooth module or scanning a QR Code label.
User interface of the ST Eye mobile app for the Android device.
Configuration of the Sentry firmware parameters used in the Bluetooth solution.
Why Use This Solution?
Server Technology's mobile monitoring solution offers the following significant benefits for the data center:
Easy connection with
information at the cabinet.
Server Technology's free ST Eye mobile app and user interface for mobile monitoring. No other app or
purchased license key are required to get started with this solution.
Use your own Android mobile device in the data center anytime for instant access to the CDU. Locked
cabinets and hot aisle device access are no longer obstacles for obtaining immediate device data.
A physical connection is not required at the cabinet between a computer and the CDU (via the network or
serial port) to obtain CDU data.
If your Android device is connected to the wireless network in the data center, ST Eye will also allow mobile
access for login to the CDU via the secure web interface of the Sentry firmware.
