Notifications can be sent by email to computers, mobile phones, BlackBerrys, pagers, PDAs and more. By having another monitoring application (like AVTECH’s Device ManageR) monitor TemPageR, there are additional options for logging, graphing, alert notification and automatic corrective action to resolve issues and protect equipment.
‘Support’ and ‘Downloads’ sections of the AVTECH.com website for any appropriate installation or application note that will instruct you on the proper installation and use of that component. Install those components after the TemPageR 3E setup is completed. TemPageR 3E ID Box The graphics below identify the primary components of the TemPageR 3E ID box that are visible on the front and rear panels.
TemPageR 3E unit. IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT CONNECT POWER to the TemPageR 3E unit during the initial setup UNTIL AFTER you have connected it to your network as described above or it will cause problems automatically assigning the initial IP address.

‘Device Not Found Or Invalid IP Address’ subsection below before continuing. Once the TemPageR 3E unit is displayed, select it from the list to perform an action on it. Selecting multiple units will cause the action selected to be performed on multiple units (i.e. all selected units) simultaneously.
The AVTECH Device Discovery Utility offers additional features accessible via a right click context menu. This menu is accessible only when a located TemPageR 3E unit has been selected and the right mouse button has been clicked. These menu options are described below.
3. Enter a valid static IP address for the current location of the TemPageR 3E unit when prompted. NOTE: If the TemPageR 3E unit is later relocated outside of the current subnet, you will need to reset the IP address in order to see and work with the TemPageR 3E unit.
In either case, follow the instructions listed in the ‘Static-Only Networks’ subsection above. NOTE: If the instructions provided do not allow configuration of the TemPageR 3E unit, please initiate a Live Chat technical support request on AVTECH.com or send an email support request to Support@AVTECH.com.
The TemPageR 3E unit can send alert notifications via email and email-to-SMS using anonymous SMTP relay and/or SNMP Traps. The TemPageR 3E unit is fully SNMP compliant and can be accessed by any application that can issue a SNMP Get request. Other monitoring applications can therefore be used to perform SNMP Get requests and receive SNMP Traps.
Once all SMTP Email settings are configured, click the ‘Accept Changes’ button then ‘Save Settings’. NOTE: If a domain name is entered in the ‘Mail Server Address’ field, the TemPageR 3E unit must be assigned static IP settings and have a DNS server IP address set.
The TemPageR 3E unit is fully SNMP compliant and can be monitored by applications capable of performing an SNMP Query or Get request. The TemPageR 3E unit can also be configured to send SNMP Traps to up to three separate IP addresses when thresholds are exceeded. If another application is used to monitor the TemPageR 3E unit, be sure to obtain the MIB files for the TemPageR 3E unit from the ‘Downloads’...
‘Settings’ screen. Current sensor status will be displayed on the ‘Status’ screen of the TemPageR 3E web interface. The status icon displayed will be a gray circle ‘ ’ if a sensor is connected although an alert threshold is not set. If an alert threshold is set for a connected sensor and the sensor is not in an alarm state, the status icon displayed will be a green check ‘...
These sensors attach to various AVTECH hardware via RJ-11 cable to an external environment sensor channel. Current sensors providing real-time values include the Digital Temperature Sensor, Digital Outdoor Temperature Sensor, Digital Fluid Temperature Sensor and Digital Temperature &...
Flood Sensor w/8’ or 24’ Cable (RMA-F008-SEN, RMA-F024-SEN) The AVTECH Flood Sensor is available with a standard 8´ or 24´ flood sensor cable and allows a real-time notification of flood or water leakage wherever the attached flood sensor cable is located. This is an instant ‘plug & play’ sensor that connects to one of the switch sensor contact sets via a low voltage 2-wire cable.
Sound, Light & Entry Sensor (RMA-SLE-SEN) The AVTECH Sound, Light & Entry Sensor allows real-time monitoring for sound and light at the location of the sensor. This sensor also includes a set of switch sensor contacts and an AVTECH Room Entry Sensor. Each sensor can be monitored independently or an ‘any sensor’...
NOTE: If configuring static IP settings on the TemPageR 3E unit, be sure that the settings assigned are valid for the current location of the TemPageR 3E unit and that there are no other devices assigned to the same IP address. DO NOT set an IP address that is outside of your subnet or you may not be able to see or discover the TemPageR 3E unit.
Additional Screens And Interfaces Advanced The ‘Advanced’ tab of the TemPageR 3E ‘Settings’ screen is used to configure the temperature scale, time zone, time display, daylight savings time setting, time server IP address and trace configuration options. The temperature scale selected in the ‘Temperature Scale’ drop down will be the default temperature scale to be used when entering alert thresholds and displayed on the ‘Status’...
The additional support information provided on this screen is presented in the order that it should be followed in the event that you have a technical question regarding the TemPageR 3E or if you are experiencing a situation where assistance is desired.
Below the menu bar on the TemPageR 3E is the device name, date and time display, and MAC address display. NOTE: If the date displayed is ‘2/14/36’, the TemPageR 3E is currently unable to connect to a time server. Please verify that the network has a connection to the internet and that NTP requests on UDP port 123 are not blocked.
