looops Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Don't mean to hog this forum sorry. Been playing with Montex software today but hitting a wall. Trying to find documentation even getting access denied on the TSI forums on what looks like useful Google results. I'm not TSI trade so fair enough. However, anyone got any pointers? As mentioned a few times I'm an IT guy and we use clever monitoring systems to alert the right people when email, websites, systems go down. Seems to me I might be able to hook Montex into this. Anyone done something similar? I'll STFU now. Thanks Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 You will need to program the ip into the panel and then it should send the signals to the reciever (pc) Check you are on the same network to start with to avoid routing issues and the pc doesn't have a firewall blocking the ports. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

MrHappy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Montex works with texecom kit over a network, I've still not got round to using it depsite on the kit being on the desk for months we use clever monitoring systems to alert the right people when email, websites, systems go down. how ever clever they are ain't a proper a arc Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looops Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 We use two systems, both Windows Server based. PRTG and Op Manager. PRTG is getting better and better. Would like to set it up to watch my Texecom over IP and alert me to alarm, error, status etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I don't think you will be able to do that, unless your monitoring system already supports texecom securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

looops Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm hoping it can pick up on a port being open or ASCII output, even a log being generated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 It won't be plain text that's transmitted and it will work on a challenge system, ie some 2 way comms before any useful data is sent. We had to jump through a few hoops when we wrote our own sia over ip receiver Port traffic you might be able to detect, or maybe hook into the montex log files? securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

MrHappy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I'm hoping it can pick up on a port being open or ASCII output, even a log being generated. try it & report back, I know nothing about your server monitoring thing but I suspect crestron support is more likely than a panel Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looops Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Just had a thought, maybe make a COM300 talk to a local PC's modem. Easy to pick up on the terminal output. Or X10 for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
