    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM INSTALLATION Mounting Instructions-16D The E-16D was designed to either sit on a shelf or be mounted in a rack. For mounting in a rack It includes a rack mount kit to make attachment easy. Attach the ears to the ENVIROMUX using the #6-32x3/16" flat Phillips-head screws (6) provided as shown in the illustration below.

  • Page 17: Mounting Instructions-5D / -2D

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Mounting Instructions-5D / -2D The E-5D and -2D can either be placed on a solid surface, mounted to a wall, mounted to a DIN rail or mounted to an accessible surface within rack (Zero-RU). To mount to a wall or other surface, first remove the screws holding the mounting tabs to the rear of the box.

  • Page 18: Din Rail Mounting

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM DIN Rail Mounting If DIN rail mounting is preferred, and you have purchased the E-5D-D or E-2D-D, then a DIN rail bracket has been pre-installed on the ENVIROMUX. Simply determine where on the DIN rail you want to place the ENVIROMUX and follow the instructions below for attaching it.

  • Page 19: Sensor Attachment

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Sensor Attachment Connect the desired sensors (sold separately) to the available ports on the ENVIROMUX. Sensors come with one of two connection methods, RJ45 and individual wires for terminal connection. This section explains both methods of connection.

  • Page 20: Digital In Terminals

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Digital In Terminals To connect contact sensors without using RJ45 connectors, terminal blocks have been provided labeled "DIGITAL IN". Two wire switch-only type sensors can be connected to the DIGITAL IN terminals as shown below. If the sensors require a 12V power source to operate, additional 12V and ground terminals have been provided on each model, with restrictions as shown.

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM SMS Messaging Only When using your modem only for SMS messaging, make sure the SIM card is for GSM communication (not CDMA), configured to send SMS messages, and that it is not locked (some SIM cards are "locked" to search for a specific IMEI number of the phone to operate).

  • Page 28: Serial Gsm Modem

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Serial GSM Modem To use a serial modem (E-16D/-5D only), connection of the modem to the ENVIROMUX requires a CAT5 patch cable and RJ45- to-DB9 male adapter (supplied with modem). The modem connects to the “RS232 AUX” port and that port must be configured to use as a GSM Modem (page 68).

  • Page 29: Power Connection-E-16D

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Power Connection-E-16D Connect the power cord supplied to the IEC connector on the rear of E-16D. Plug the other end into AC mains and use the switch to power ON ENVIROMUX. Note: The power cord provides an earth ground connection for the case.

  • Page 30: Dc Power Option

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM DC Power Option The E-16D is available with connections for DC power connection. The E-16D-48V can be connected to a 36~72VDC (48VDC nominal) power supply. The E-16D-24V can be connected to a 18~36VDC (24VDC nominal) power supply. Each has connections on the rear for a user-supplied DC power supply (minimum 27 watt).

  • Page 31: Figure 22- Power Connections On E-5D-48Vdp

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM The E-5D-48V is available with connections for a 18~72VDC (24 or 48VDC nominal) user-supplied power supply. This is typically used when the ENVIROMUX is installed in a Telecom environment. The E-5D-48V will accept a DC power source with positive or negative polarity.

  • Page 32: Remote Rs232 Device Control

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Remote RS232 Device Control The “RS232 AUX” port can be used to connect a remote serially-controlled device (E-5D and -16D only). Once connected, a user named “rs232” can login to the ENVIROMUX from a command prompt and begin sending commands directly to the serial device.

    Manual) Initially, IP configuration will be the easiest to change using the NTI Device Discovery Tool, which will search for NTI devices on the user’s network and allow IP assignment to them through its web interface. Other settings for subnet mask and default gateway may also be configured (see page 28).

  • Page 35: Data And Event Logging

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Data and Event Logging The ENVIROMUX can log sensor readings, sensor alerts, alert handling, sensor connections/removals, and user logins/logouts. The logs can be viewed at any time through the web interface (page 113). Additionally, as entries are generated, they can be emailed or sent as SNMP traps.

  • Page 36: Out-Of-Box Operation

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM Out-of-Box Operation The operation of the unit directly out of the box is nearly identical to the Power-on/Reset operation. However, information about the unit will only be able to be monitored and controlled through the “RS232” or “CONSOLE” ports until valid network settings are assigned to the device (see page 74).

  • Page 102: Figure 103- Security Configuration- Ip Filtering Rules

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM IP Filtering Included in the Security Configuration options is IP Filtering. IP Filtering provides an additional mechanism for securing the ENVIROMUX. Access to the ENVIROMUX network services (SNMP, HTTP(S), SSH, Telnet) can be controlled by allowing or disallowing connections from various IP addresses, subnets, or networks.

  • Page 103: System Information

    NTI ENTERPRISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING SYSTEM More on IP Filtering The most common approach is to only allow “white-listed” IP addresses, subnets, or networks to access the device while blocking all others. The IP Filters are processed sequentially from top to bottom, so it is important to place the most precise rules at the top of the list and the most generic rules at the bottom of the list.
