2.4 System configuration
Use the “Sioux test” software program to configure the system.
With this software it is possible to divide the global system into many sub-systems comprising
maximum one Sioux-CU, 4 master and 24 slave in total 28 sensors.
Each sub-system can then be sub-divided into a maximum of 4 zones and each zone can be
assigned the required characteristics (intrusion alarm threshold, cut alarm threshold, etc.).
It is possible to assign the characteristics not only by zone but also by individual sensor. For a
more detailed description see the “Sioux test” manual.
