Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Sensaphone IMS-4000 Infrastructure Monitoring
System. This one-of-a-kind solution will change the way you think about computer room and
network monitoring. The system is designed to be a comprehensive method of ensuring 100%

environmental conditions and network equipment, the system will keep you informed of the status
of your infrastructure. Monitored conditions can include temperature levels, humidity levels, line
voltage, leak detection, server response , UPS systems, and more. The system allows the computer
professional to be notified immediately of any detected problems. Notification can occur via

diagnostic tests via Touch-Tone commands or e-mail. And with the IMS-4000 PowerGate, you can
also remotely reboot equipment.
