USB Pro Gateways
General Description
The ALTA USB Pro gateway allows your Monnit Wireless
Sensors to communicate with the iMonnit™ online
wireless sensor monitoring and notification system or
Monnit Express™ standalone PC software. Simply plug
the device into an available USB port on a Microsoft
Windows PC.
If the PC has an active internet connection and you
wish to use it with the iMonnit online software, install the
Monnit Gateway application to pass sensor data to the
online system. If you wish to use your wireless sensors
locally (collect and store sensor data on your PC), install
the Monnit Express standalone software and all sensor
data will be stored within the software’s database. The
Monnit Express software allows you to export sensor
data in a .csv format spreadsheet, and is also capable of
sending SMS text and email alerts if the host computer
has an active Internet connection.
With the online iMonnit software, you can easily configure
your network, view collected sensor data and set alarms
through SMS or e-mail, all from any web enabled
browser. The system allows for com- plete configuration
and customization at a sensor, local network, or client
wide level.
The ALTA USB Pro gateway is specifically designed
to respond to the increasing market need for global
technology that accommodates a variety of vertical M2M
application segments and remote wireless
sensor management solutions.
Enjoy reliable, low cost, wireless monitoring of your
facilities or specific applications, with Monnit wireless
sensor networks.
