[mod.computers.vax] VAX 8600 Environmental Alarm

welch@UMass.BITNET.UUCP (01/27/87)

Does anyone know how the 8600 detects an environmental alarm condition?
What I'd like to have happen is if there is such a condition the VAX
would use the autodialer to make a call, probably to the phone number
which sets off the beeper someone is carrying during off-hours.

I'm about to "go fiching" but am hoping someone might have the answer
to this question already.

If you would like to save yourself some trouble.  There is a product on
the market for about $250.  It was in the Imnac Catalogue I believe.  It
monitor a computer room for Heat, Humity and Noise.  If any went wrong
it would call the program numbers and warn people.  This device has
saved me a couple of times at previous jobs.
