Sensor Pods

Use the Sensor Pods task to configure any integrated Sensor Pods (NetBotz 320 and 420 models only)

and any Sensor Pod 120s, Wireless Receiver 120s, 4-20mA Sensor Pods, or NMEA-compliant GPS

receivers that are connected to your appliance. You can use the Sensor Pods task to perform the following

configuration tasks:

• Specify the label used to identify the Sensor Pod 120, Wireless Receiver 120, or GPS receiver.

• Configure sensors associated with these devices or with integrated Sensor Pods, including

specifying the label that is used to identify an individual sensor, specifying the maximum number of

hours of sensor data that will be preserved on the appliance, and creating thresholds for each sensor

which, if violated, will result in an alert condition being reported to the appliance.

• Specify the type of external sensors that are attached to each of the external sensor ports on your

Sensor Pod 120s, 4-20mA Sensor Pods, or your integrated Sensor Pod (NetBotz 320 and 420

models only), and specify a label for each external sensor port.

To configure a supported device, double-click on the Sensor Pods icon to start the Sensor Pods task. A list

of supported devices that are connected to your appliance appears. Select the device you want to

configure, and the click the button that corresponds to the configuration task you want to perform:

• Click Settings to specify settings for the device.

• Click Sensors to configure the sensors that are built into or connected to the device and to create

thresholds for those sensors.

• Click External Ports to specify the type of external sensors that are attached to each of the external

sensor ports that are integrated with your appliance (NetBotz 320 and 420 models only) or on your

Sensor Pod 120s, and to provide a unique identification label for each external sensor. You can also

define custom dry contact and analog sensors.

Settings

After you have selected a device from the Sensor Pods window and clicked Settings, the Sensor Pod

Settings window opens. From this window you can specify the label that will be used to uniquely identify

the device and specify the severity of the alert that will be generated if the selected device is unplugged (if

applicable. Unplugged Alert Severity is available only for devices that can be disconnected from an

appliance).

If it is available, type in the Label field the label that will be used for this device. Then, select from the

Unplugged Alert Severity drop box the severity of the alert that will be generated if the device is

unplugged from the appliance. Then click OK to save these settings to the appliance. Click Cancel to

close this window without saving any changes.
