Setup Menu
This section displays screen shots and descriptions taken from the command prompt menu system. However, the
menu structure and options are the same as the web interface.
The Main Setup Menu contains all of the configuration options available on the S571. It is accessed by typing
SETUP followed by <Enter> at the SiteBoss command prompt, and is organized in a logical tree structure with all
settings classified under the following groups.
SiteBoss 571 - Main Setup Menu
A) Network Settings
B) Serial Settings
C) Modem Settings
D) Security Settings
E) Alarm/Event Definitions
F) Action Definitions
G) General Settings
H) Event Log Settings
I) Audit Log Settings
J) Scripting Settings
K) Output Control
Note: Some menus may not be available, depending on your hardware configuration.
Note: Passwords are case sensitive and are masked in all menus for security reasons.
Each section in this chapter will go over one of the above setup branches, outlining the options within.
Press either <ESC> or <Enter> to go back one level in the menu tree, or <CTRL + C> to exit any Setup menu and
return to the command prompt.
Since this product allows for multiple simultaneous command processors, two administrators could conceivably
change the same option at the same time, but due to the multitasking nature of the S571, the changes are
processed in the order received.
The SiteBoss processes setup changes in real time. In other words, the unit begins to implement changes to its
configuration as soon as they are entered. There is no need to exit the Setup menu or reboot the unit to apply
changes. The exception to this rule is IP-specific network settings. Changes to these settings are implemented
only after all open Telnet command processors are closed.
Network Settings
This menu tree contains settings for network communication, SNMP, FTP, PPP, Email, and more.
Serial Settings

Modem Settings
Choosing this option displays a menu where all of the modem settings and modem-specific security options can be
configured.
Security Settings
Choosing this option displays a menu which contains all user profiles, RADIUS configuration, and general
security settings.
Alarm/Event Definitions
This will display a menu tree which contains all of the settings that define sensor events within the SiteBoss.
