ActiveXperts Network Monitor Serial device monitoring

ActiveXperts Network Monitor is a software solution you need to scan your network servers, workstations and devices for failures or irregularities. With ActiveXperts Network Monitor, you can identify issues and fix unexpected problems before your others even know they've happened.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor maximizes network availability by monitoring all aspects of your servers, workstations, switches, routers, printers and any other devices. It can also detect temperature, humidity and other environmental aspects in your server rooms.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor provides serial device (e.g. a modem, a weight indicator, etc.) monitoring. Simply send a query to the device and analyze the response. The device must at least have a serial port (e.g. RS-232) or a serial port driver.

An ActiveXperts network Monitor Serial Device check requires the following parameters:

  • Device - Device driver to use. You can either use a Windows telephony device (recommended) or a physical COM port (directly).Monitor Probe - Monitor different locations, referred to as 'Probe';
  • Flow Control - Select the type of flow control to use. The following values are valid: Default, None, Hardware, Hardware+Software. You can only select 'Flow Control' if 'Device' is set to a direct port (i.e. not a TAPI device);
  • Baudrate - Select the baudrate (port speed). You can only select 'Baudrate' if 'Device' is set to a direct port (i.e. not a TAPI device);
  • Send command when connected - As soon as connection is established, send a command;
  • Response must include string - When connected, optionally send a command. Then wait for a response;
  • Timeout - Number of milliseconds before the check will timeout. Usually, a connection to the server will be established within 1 second. However, some slow/busy servers need more time;
