Buddy Assignment
In a dual- or multi-sensor system, the Main sensor controls a second sensor, called the Buddy sensor,
after the Buddy sensor is assigned to the Main sensor. You configure both sensors through the Main
sensor's interface.
Main and Buddy sensors must be assigned unique IP addresses before they can be used on the
same network. Before proceeding, connect the Main and Buddy sensors one at a time (to avoid an
address conflict) and use the steps described in Running a Dual-Sensor System (page 30) to assign
each sensor a unique address.
When a sensor is acting as a Buddy, it is not discoverable and its web interface is not accessible.
A sensor can only be assigned as a Buddy if its firmware and model number match the
firmware and model number of the Main sensor.
To assign a Buddy sensor:
1. Go to the Manage page and click on the Sensor System category.
2. In the Visible Sensors list, click the "plus" icon next to the sensor you want to add as a Buddy.
The sensor you added to the system appears in a Buddies list.
3. Repeat the previous step to add more sensors to the system.
After you have assigned the desired number of Buddy sensors, you must specify system's layout. For
more information, see
Layout on the next page.
To remove a Buddy, click the "minus" icon next to the sensor you want to remove. To remove all
Buddies, click
Remove All Buddies .
