Maximum Fail-Safety: Didactum LTE Modem for Server Room and Enterprise Monitoring

The Didactum LTE Modem expansion module is a central component for the reliable monitoring of server rooms and critical company areas. With support for receiving and sending SMS via 2G and 3G networks, as well as providing Ethernet connectivity via LTE (4G), this LTE modem offers a flexible and fail-safe communication solution for modern monitoring systems. Especially in environments where the network connection cannot always be guaranteed as stable, the LTE modem ensures the necessary redundancy and security.

Monitoring Server Rooms with LTE Modem

Continuous monitoring of all relevant environmental parameters and systems in server rooms is essential to prevent failures and damage. Didactum monitoring systems, such as the 300T, 500T, 550T, and PDUs, can be equipped with the LTE modem to reliably transmit alarm notifications and status information even in the event of a LAN connection failure.

The LTE modem automatically switches to LTE 4G in the event of a network failure, thus maintaining the Ethernet connection. This is particularly important, as server rooms often form the backbone of a company's IT infrastructure and a failure can have serious consequences.

With the LTE modem, alarm contacts and sensors in the server room can be monitored around the clock. In the event of excessive temperatures, humidity, smoke development, or unauthorized access, the system immediately sends notifications via SMS or SNMP to the responsible technicians and administrators. Thanks to the network redundancy of the LTE module, all communication channels remain available even in the event of local network disruptions. This enables a quick response and minimizes the risk of data loss or costly downtime.

Monitoring Critical Company Areas

Not only in the server room, but also in other critical company areas such as technical rooms, production environments, warehouses, or energy centers, reliable communication plays a crucial role. The Didactum LTE modem can be used wherever a stable network connection cannot always be guaranteed, for example in remote branches, external sites, or temporary locations. In such scenarios, the LTE modem ensures secure transmission of alarms, status messages, and control commands—independent of the local IT infrastructure.

Another application example is the monitoring of UPS systems, emergency generators, or air conditioning units. Here too, the LTE modem can serve as a communication bridge and send immediate notifications in the event of a malfunction. The ability to notify up to ten different phone numbers via SMS increases response speed and ensures that the right contact is always informed.

Installation and Integration of the LTE Modem Expansion Module

Installing the Didactum LTE modem expansion module is straightforward. The module is simply inserted into the designated slot of the respective monitoring system.

Configuration is done via the user-friendly web interface, where all settings for the mobile connection, SMS notifications, and network redundancy can be made. Integration into existing monitoring systems such as the 300T, 500T, 550T, or PDUs is seamless and requires no special knowledge.

After installation, the LTE modem can be used immediately to secure the communication of the monitoring system. Thanks to support for DHCP and numerous protocols such as SNMP, SMTP, or Syslog, the LTE modem integrates seamlessly into the existing IT environment.

Application Examples for the Didactum LTE Modem

• Monitoring server rooms and data centers with automatic alarms in case of network connection failure
• Ensuring communication in technical rooms, production environments, and energy centers
• Remote monitoring of branches and external sites without a fixed Internet connection
• Monitoring and control of UPS systems, emergency generators, and air conditioning units
• Use as a backup solution for critical networks in hospitals, authorities, or industrial companies

The Didactum LTE modem is the ideal solution for companies that rely on reliable and fail-safe monitoring of their IT and enterprise infrastructure.
