Add-Ons: RAE Systems Sensors Option

RAE Systems Sensors Option is a license key-enabled BotzWare enhancement that enables you to

use a variety of RAE Systems toxic vapor and gas sensors with your appliances. The following

devices are supported:

• MultiRAE Plus

• ppbRAE

• miniRAE

•AreaRAE

• RAELink

For more information on RAE Systems complete line of innovative gas detection products see http://

www.raesystems.com.

Additional Features

Once enabled, RAE Systems Sensors Option will enable you to use any supported RAE Systems

device as an external sensor. Each device is connected to the appliance using a USB-to-serial port

adapter. Alternately, MultiRAE Plus, miniRAE, and ppbRAE systems can be made wireless with the

use of the RAELink wireless communication upgrade package. In this case, only the RAELink is

connected to the appliance.

Once connected, use the Serial Devices task (see “Serial Devices” on page 133) to configure the

serial port to which the RAE Systems device is connected.

Supported RAE Systems devices that are connected to your appliance (either directly or via a

RAELink) will appear as selectable devices in the Navigation pane of the Basic and Advanced View

interfaces. When a RAE Systems device is selected from the Navigation pane, additional and

readings are displayed in the Sensor Data pane. The specific sensors that appear in the Sensor Data

pane vary by device type and device configuration.

Remote RAE Clients and Servers

In addition to supporting RAE Systems devices, RAE Systems Sensors Option enables you to

configure a licensed appliance to act as a Remote RAE Client or Remote RAE Server:

Remote RAE Clients automatically gather data from all RAE Systems devices connected to the

appliance and forward it to a user-specified RAE Systems Sensors Option licensed appliance. This

remote appliance is referred to as a Remote RAE Server. RAE Systems device data that is forwarded

to a Remote RAE Server appliance is displayed in the interface of the Remote RAE Server just as

though the RAE Systems devices were directly connected to that appliance. This functionality

enables you to aggregate the data reported by all of your appliance-connected RAE Systems devices

into a single interface, and to set thresholds, monitor alerts, and graph data reported by the RAE

Systems devices on Remote RAE Clients just like any other sensor connected to and supported by

your appliance.

Enabling RAE Systems Sensors Option

To enable RAE Systems Sensors Option, you must purchase and add an RAE Systems Sensors

Option license key to your appliance. License keys are available for purchase from NetBotz, Inc. and

from NetBotz authorized resellers.
