About Temperature@lert
Temperature is a significant threat to companies around the world, especially
in data centers, server and telecommunications rooms,
biotechnology/pharmaceutical/medical facilities and companies requiring
commercial refrigeration. A temperature change can cost thousands, if not
millions of dollars in damage and lost productivity. Temperature@lert’s cloud-
based temperature monitoring solutions provide real-time alerts and historic
records to allow customers to immediately react to potentially disastrous
temperature fluctuations and provide logs for regulatory requirements.
Temperature@lert has more than 15,000 devices installed in over 40 countries
around the globe.
The WiFi device helps to alert you when slight changes in the environment are
detected. We believe in the simplicity of our device –in design, set-up, and
operation.
We have a long history of designing devices to measure environmental
changes. Our line of monitoring devices takes environmental monitoring to
the next level by allowing for customized timing of monitoring efforts and
customized methods of alert notifications.

WiFi Edition at a Glance
The Temperature@lert WiFi Edition measures the environmental conditions
surrounding the sensor(s). If the sensor reading goes outside the specified
threshold, the unit will alert you via email (Visit
http://www.temperaturealert.com/sensorcloud to view our optional add-on
service that provides Internet based monitoring for use with your WiFi Edition
product).
What’s Included
The Temperature@lert WiFi Edition includes the following items:
Additional sensors are available from temperaturealert.com.

Connectivity Requirements
In order to operate properly and send email alerts when the sensor readings
fall outside your thresholds, the device requires Internet access via a wireless
or wired Ethernet connection.
Turning on the Hardware
Connect one or two sensors to either jack on the side of the device (see figure
1). Note: The device does not have any built in sensors.
Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet and connect the power to the device.
Please wait about 60 seconds for the device to finish booting up. Your device is
now ready to connect to your PC.
Connect an Ethernet cable to your computer and to the Ethernet jack of the
Temperature@lert WiFi unit.
Connecting to the Web Based Admin
Interface
For initial setup, ensure the unit is connected directly to your computer's
Ethernet port. If your computer’s Ethernet adapter is set to acquire an IP
address, via DHCP, the WiFi device will assign it an address. Otherwise, you will
need to configure a static IP address on the same subnet as the WiFi device
(such as 10.99.99.2). The default IP/subnet of the device is 10.99.99.1 /
255.255.255.0
Open a web browser and browse to http://10.99.99.1/.

11 | Rev 2.1 for firmware 5.0+ | http://www.temperaturealert.com/ | © 2011 Temperature@lert
Default IP Address
10.99.99.1
Default Username and Password
Username: admin
Password: password
You will see the current sensor reading along with a graph. This page will
automatically refresh itself every few minutes. If you do not see a sensor
reading or the reading is 0.00000, please see the Obtaining Service and
Support section of this document.
It is highly recommended that you click on the Preferences tab and set a new
administrative password.

Configuring the Device
Status Page
Figure 3
Navigation
Figure three (3) shows the Status tab of the administrator interface; the other
tabs used for configuration are displayed across the top. The Status tab
displays the current sensor readings, while the Alarm Settings tab allows the

13 | Rev 2.1 for firmware 5.0+ | http://www.temperaturealert.com/ | © 2011 Temperature@lert
sensor thresholds to be set for each sensor and also allows the user to register
the device with the optional Sensor Cloud service
(http://www.temperaturealert.com/sensorcloud). The Connection Settings tab
allows the wireless and wired network settings to be configured. The Mail
Settings tab is used to specify what mail server to use for sending alarm
notifications. The SNMP Settings tab is used for configuring Simple Network
Management Protocol for integration into enterprise management systems.
The Preferences tab is used to set the time zone, degree units (F or C) and
admin interface password. Finally, the Help tab displays the current software
version and license agreement.
The Graph
Figure three (3) displays the sensor readings. In this example, a combination
temperature/humidity probe is plugged into Jack 1 which has been renamed
‘Cabinet 1’. The most recent temperature reading is displayed in large
numbers at the top. If the reading is outside of your set threshold, the reading
will turn red and display the word “Alarm”. The system clock is automatically
set once the device has internet access. If the clock is not set, please check
your internet access and your firewall for outbound NTP access.
As temperature data is gathered, the graph will automatically refresh. You can
click and drag on the graph to zoom into specific areas. If you do not see a
graph, please ensure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.

XML Feed & Log File
Figure 4
Figure four (4) above is an example of the XML feed data that can be viewed
by clicking the ‘XML Log’link at the top of the page. The Temperature and
Error log files can be viewed by clicking their respective links. The XML feed
can easily be integrated into other applications.

Figure five (5) shows the Alarm Settings tab which is used connect the device
the optional sensor cloud service and set the thresholds for your sensors. You
will also enter the email address of the recipient who will receive the alert
emails. Be sure to click ‘Save’ once you have entered all the settings. If you add
or remove different sensor types, you will need to click the reset sensors
button to rescan for the new sensor types and display the appropriate
threshold options. Note: clicking reset sensors will remove old log data.
Connecting to Temperature@lert sensor cloud

17 | Rev 2.1 for firmware 5.0+ | http://www.temperaturealert.com/ | © 2011 Temperature@lert
Figure 6
The first section in figure six (6) indicates if you are using the unit with
Temperature@lert's optional Sensor Cloud service. Temperature@lert’s
Sensor Cloud allows you to view temperatures and set alerts online from any
browser-capable internet device. In addition, you can receive phone call
notifications, configure alarm escalation, set ‘Missed Report’alarms and more.
Visit temperaturealert.com/sensorcloud to learn more.
There are three modes of operation for the sensor cloud settings:
1. Local mode (sensor cloud off) uses only the alarm settings and logging
on the device itself.
2. In sensor cloud only mode, the temperature@lert will report
temperatures to the online system and use only the sensor cloud
alerts and settings.
3. Dual mode uses the built-in / local alarm settings and logging as well
as the sensor cloud logging and alarm settings.
Before you enable sensor cloud, you will need to sign up for a sensor cloud
account by following the on screen instructions. Once you have an account,
enter your username and password into the form on the wifi edition. The
temperature@lert wifi unit will attempt to register itself on the sensor cloud
system.
Setting the Temperature Alarm
The second section of figure five (5) is used to configure where the sensor
thresholds are set. Enter the email address of the person whom you wish to
receive the sensor alerts. If you need to send alerts to more than one
address, separate the email addresses by a comma and no space. Enter the
low and high sensor thresholds. When the temperature/humidity falls outside
of this range, an alert will be generated. A ‘Normal’ alert will also be generated
if the temperature/humidity comes back within range. Be sure to click ‘Save’
to save all your settings.

18 | Rev 2.1 for firmware 5.0+ | http://www.temperaturealert.com/ | © 2011 Temperature@lert
If you connect new sensors or change which ports the sensors are connected
to, you will need to press the ‘Reset Sensors’ button. Pressing the ‘Reset
Sensors’ button will erase the data and alarms associated with the unit. The
unit will automatically reboot after pressing ‘Reset Sensors’, detecting the new
sensors. One the unit has rebooted the alarms can now be set in on the ‘Alarm
Settings’ tab.
Connection Settings
Your Temperature@lert device can connect to the internet through a wired
Ethernet cable or wirelessly if you have wireless network. Initial set up of the
device must be done through the Ethernet cable, after the initial set up the
device can be configured to operate on your wireless network.
Current Wireless IP –Once the Temperature@lert unit has successfully
connected to your wireless network, an IP address will be displayed here. Type
this IP into your browser to view the device.
