I/O Configuration
The Sentry 4G I/O subsystem is configured via the Sentry 4G WEB pages. Status Monitoring is
provided via NMEA-based protocol. The Sentry 4G I/O subsystem operates according to a
manager/agent model. The PC-hosted manager sends requests to the Sentry 4G I/O agent, which
performs the required actions. The Sentry 4G agent reports alarms and indications to the PC-hosted
manager.

Note: If Auto is selected for “Manager IP address”, the Sentry 4G automatically computes the
manager IP address to be Sentry 4G ETH a1 if DHCP is disabled. If DHCP is enabled, the IP
address is the starting address offered by the DHCP server.
The unit IP
address is the source IP address (displayed in the alarm messages received by the
Manager). The user can configure this to be the WAN Sentry 4G IP address or the LAN (Ethernet)
Sentry 4G IP address. If auto is selected, the source IP address is automatically computed to be
Sentry 4G ETH a1 if DHCP is disabled. If DHCP is enabled, the IP address is the starting
address offered by the DHCP server.
The user can enable and disable digital alarms by selecting appropriate “enabled” and “disabled”
radio buttons under I/O Settings (
Figure 30
).
The alarm messages can be configured for each diagnostic value under I/O Settings
Labels (see
Figure

).
