Dashboard
The graphical display of the whole Estate’s general health, using colours to give a quick and easy to understand representation of the complex Environmental Monitoring data.See also: Event View
Decommission
Devices can be set into a non-active, or decommissioned state, for maintenance or to cope with problems external to the sensor network causing unwanted alarms. Essentially this is a way to tell REM ES to ignore a device but without losing its existing history or settings. To re-enable the device, it should be commissioned.See also: Commission, Device, Topology
Device
Remote hardware, connected via a network, that sends readings related to its Environment to the REM-ES system. These devices are termed Sensors, Probes, Hubs or Interfaces within the software, but one piece of hardware may in fact be multiple devices in a single enclosure, for example an I-Box, Netbotz, Hawk-i2, etc.See also: Commission, Decommission, Device Status, Hub (Device), Interface (Device), Port (Device), Probe (Device), Sensor (Device)
Device Status
A record of the present state of all the devices connected to the REM-ES, in real time. See also: Device
