How to monitor the temperature by using built-in Temperature Sensor ( For VigorAP1000C/920/918R)

Temperature monitoring is helpful for us to prevent devices from getting physical damage. With built-in Temperature Sensor, we are able to monitor the internal temperature of VigorAP1000C/920/918R and even get temperature alerts from devices. Following steps will demonstrate how to monitor the internal temperature and make APs send Syslog/Mail alerts when they are getting abnormal temperature.

Note: Make sure that 2.4GHz wireless is enabled( Built-in Temperature Sensor won’t work if 2.4GHz wireless is disabled).

1. To set up alert methods, go to System Maintenance >> Syslog / Mail Alert Setup.

Syslog Access Setup

• Enable Syslog Access Setup
• Enter the IP address of syslog server (In this case, we use Syslog Utility to get syslog alerts.)
• Select Warning (or All) at Log Level
• Click OK

Mail Alert Setup

• Enable Mail Alert Setup
• Fill out the mail detail
• Click OK

2. Go to Applications >> Sensor, click Sensor Settings

• Enable Sensor Graph
• Enable Alerts and select once or per min to get notifications when the temperature is out of range.
• Enable Syslog or Mail at Alert Method
• Set up safe temperature range for Alert Criteria
  (Appropriate temperature range of Alert Criteria: 0℃ ~ 100℃ / 32°F ~212 °F)
• Click OK

Note: For calibration/current value, we don’t need to adjust it (Leave it at 0.0).

3. To monitor the temperature, go to Applications >> Sensor Graph >> Sensor Graph.

• Select interval value for Sensor Graph
• (Optional) Click Statistics to show the value table (Maximum, Minimum and Average)

4. Getting temperature alerts from APs when the temperature is out of range.
