T/Mon LNX: A Proven PBX Monitoring Tool

T/Mon LNX will break down the ASCII text messages from your PBX and convert them to computer-readable alarms that can trigger on-screen alerts, email notifications, text messages to your cell phone, and other notification types.

For PBX monitoring applications, T/Mon's most important ability is its ASCII Text Processor software module. In fact, PBX monitoring is the reason that the ASCII Text Processor was created.

In theory, ASCII text messages are a good idea. They're human-readable, so anyone can simply monitor a printed or on-screen view of new alerts from your PBX. The problem, of course, is that humans are not as reliable as a computer for monitoring purposes. People have to take breaks and sleep, and they can get distracted. And even a 100% reliable person who never has to sleep or use the restroom still has to get paid every hour. That's what makes computer-based monitoring of text-based alarms so important.

It's the rare ability to break down virtually any text message - using rules you specify - that makes T/Mon such a powerful PBX monitoring tool. An alarm message that's been analyzed by T/Mon can automatically trigger alerts based on the severity of the alarm. You can get an email or a text message for important PBX alarms while you're at home, but you won't be bothered by less important issues that can wait until tomorrow.

Here's a quick diagram of the process T/Mon uses to interpret an incoming ASCII message from your PBX:
