InfoStation Monitoring Utility (InfoMon
®
)
The InfoStation InfoMon is a web-based monitoring utility that runs under the Windows
O/S. This free utility (and its accompanying User's Guide) is available for download at the
StorCase web site (http://www.storcase.com).
The primary purpose of InfoMon is to continuously monitor the environmental status and
indicate alarm conditions inside the InfoStation chassis via a serial connection to a PC. This
utility functions much like the User Interface Module, only more user-friendly!
InfoMon allows the User to monitor the statuses and temperatures of individual IFS II modules
and drive bays, and will sound the PC speakers in the event of any alarms. This utility also
allows the user to customize the UI Module to suit individual needs.
To install and operate the InfoMon software, the computer system must meet the following
requirements:
Operating System Microsoft Windows 95/NT 4.0 or later
CPU IBM-compatible 486 or higher
Memory 16MB minimum
Hard Disk Space 2MB minimum
Monitor VGA or better
I/O Ports One available serial port minimum
