Basic View: Configuring Appliances
24 Using Your Appliance
To specify a label for the Sensor Pod 120, select the Sensor Pod 120 from the Pods drop box in the Setup
panel. Then, type in the Pods Label field the label that will be used to uniquely identify the Sensor Pod
120. When you have finished typing in the label value, click Update to save the label value for your
Sensor Pod 120.
To specify the type of external sensors that are connected to each of the external sensor ports on your
Sensor Pod 120, and to specify a label for each of these sensors, select the Sensor Pod 120 to which the
external sensors are connected from the Pods drop box in the Setup panel. Then, select from the drop box
beside the External Sensor Port ID the specific external sensor that is connected to each port. If desired,
type in the Port Label field a label that will be used to uniquely identify the Sensor Pod 120 and port to
which it is connected. When you have finished, click Update to save the label value for your Sensor Pod
120.
Configuring Integrated Sensor Pods (NetBotz 320/420 Only)
The only configuration tasks that can be performed on integrated Sensor Pods (included with NetBotz
320/420 models only) using the Basic View are specifying the type of external sensors that are attached to
each of the external sensor ports on the NetBotz appliance and providing a unique identification label for
each external sensor. These labels will be used to uniquely identify the external sensors in the Basic and
Advanced View interfaces and in alert notifications associated with the external sensors.
To specify the type of external sensors that are connected to each of the external sensor ports on your
NetBotz appliance, and to specify a label for each of these sensors, select the integrated Sensor Pod from
the Pods drop box in the Setup panel. Then, select from the drop box beside the External Sensor Port ID
the specific external sensor that is connected to each port. If desired, type in the Port Label field a label
that will be used to uniquely identify the sensor and port to which it is connected. When you have
finished, click Update to save the label value.
Configuring 4-20mA Sensor Pods
The only configuration tasks that can be performed on a 4-20mA Sensor Pod using the Basic View are
specifying a unique identification label for the 4-20mA Sensor Pod, specifying the type of 4-20mA
sensors that are attached to each of the ports on the 4-20mA Sensor Pod, and providing a unique
identification label for each 4-20mA sensor. These labels will be used to uniquely identify the 4-20mA
Sensor Pod and the 4-20mA sensors in the Basic and Advanced View interfaces and in alert notifications
associated with the 4-20mA Sensor Pod or 4-20mA sensors.
To specify a label for the 4-20mA Sensor Pod, select the 4-20mA Sensor Pod from the Pods drop box in
the Setup panel. Then, type in the Pods Label field the label that will be used to uniquely identify the 4-
20mA Sensor Pod. When you have finished typing in the label value, click Update to save the label value
for your 4-20mA Sensor Pod.
To specify the type of 4-20mA sensors that are connected to each of the sensor ports on your 4-20mA
Sensor Pod, and to specify a label for each of these sensors, select the 4-20mA Sensor Pod to which the 4-
20mA sensors are connected from the Pods drop box in the Setup panel. Then, select from the drop box
beside the External Sensor Port ID the specific 4-20mA sensor that is connected to each port. If desired,
type in the Port Label field a label that will be used to uniquely identify the 4-20mA Sensor Pod and port
to which it is connected. When you have finished, click Update to save the label value for your 4-20mA
Sensor Pod.
Note
Before continuing, be sure that you have correctly connected the 4-20mA Sensor
Pod to your appliance.
