Software Product Description ________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: VAX Remote Environmental Monitoring Software, Version 1.2 SPD 29.73.02 (VAX REMS) DESCRIPTION VAX REMS supports Digital's HA3000 Uninterruptible Power Sys- tem, H7317 Power Distribution System PLUS (PDS+) and H7318 Power Conditioning System Plus (PCS+) microprocessor based environmen- tal and power distribution systems, and the H7310 Environmen- tal Monitoring System. With the PDS+/PCS+ and/or EMS systems, complemented by the VAX REMS software, complete environmental surveillance of a computer site and supporting equipment is ac- complished. In addition, VAX REMS, Version 1.2 communicates with the HA3000 UPS to accept alarm and status information from that product's internal sensors. Through the use of sensors that are both internal and exter- nal to the PDS+/PCS+ units, and external sensors in the EMS units, environmental changes are detected, and, depending upon user defined threshold settings for these sensors, notifica- tion alarms are triggered on the host VAX system. Optionally, utilizing embedded sensors within HA3000 UPS systems, internal parameters and alarms are retrieved in a time-stamped sequence allowing this information to be included within the VMS file structure created by REMS. VAX REMS provides continuous unat- tended monitoring and collection of environmental data and will only require attention if an alarm condition is reached on one of its sensors. Employing an easy to learn and use menu and forms style user interface, VAX REMS facilitates the task of configuring the environmental sensors for a complete system. For status inquiry and alarm notification purposes, VAX REMS generally eliminates DIGITAL June 1990 AE-MC07C-TE VAX Remote Environmental Monitoring Software, VersioSPD.29.73.02 the need to use the the H7310 local terminal interface, along with the PCS+/PDS+ and HA3000 consoles. Features VAX REMS can be used in menu or command mode. Menus or commands enable the user to do the following: o Add or delete a probe (sensor) except HA3000 o Modify a probe's settings o Display probe data and status o Continuously monitor a probe or group of probes o Display alarm conditions o Display PDS+/PCS+ communication status o Invoke a user process when a threshold condition occurs o Generate historical reports of environmental history HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS VAX, MicroVAX, VAXstation or VAXserver configuration as speci- fied in the System Support Addendum (SSA 29.73.02-x.) o At least one RS232 terminal port, either hard wired or con- nected over LAT through a terminal server SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS* For Systems Using Terminals (No DECwindows Interface): VMS Operating System VAX FMS Forms Driver (FDV) For Workstations Running VWS: VMS Operating System VMS Workstation Software VAX FMS Forms Driver (FDV) 2 VAX Remote Environmental Monitoring Software, VersioSPD.29.73.02 * Refer to the System Support Addendum (SSA 29.73.02-x) for availability and versions of required software and for infor- mation regarding components of VMS DECwindows.
