AES Switcher Sentinel
®
2+1 Installation and Operation Manual
OVERVIEW
Product Overview
The AES Switcher Sentinel 2+1 is a web-enabled three channel AES/EBU silence
monitor combined with an integrated 3x1 AES switcher. It is designed to monitor
two AES audio sources and one analog to digital (ADC) audio source. When silence
is detected on the primary AES input it can automatically switch to the back-up AES
input or the backup ADC input. The AES Switcher Sentinel 2+1 can be configured
and monitored locally and/or remotely over any IP network, including private net-
works, IP-based industrial control networks, and the Internet. Users can operate the
product using a desktop web browser or web-enabled mobile device. Email notifi-
cation may be configured to alert up to eight recipients when silence or out of phase
audio is detected. SMTP username and passwords using STARTTLS or Base64
authentication are supported. SNMP traps and SET/GET are built in to allow multi-
ple units to be monitored and configured with SNMP management software.
