Page 5: Quick Start
Connecting to the Unit Out of the box you can communicate with the SiteBoss 571 via the command line or web interfaces, and either serially or over a network. Instructions for each of these methods are provided below.
Page 6: Via The Asentria Omnidiscover Program
Documentation and Utilities CD, download the OmniDiscover program. This program will allow you to locate devices on your network (i.e.: the S571) with Asentria MAC addresses, and allow you to assign the network settings directly over the network, thus eliminating the need for the serial port connection as described above.
Page 7: Testing Network Connectivity
Asentria SiteBoss 571 UserManual Testing Network Connectivity 1. Verify that the network router is available to the unit by typing the command PING <IP_address>. A router is always a good candidate to test pings. The following screenshot is an example of a successful ping test.
Page 8: What Is An S571
Fig 2: SiteBoss 571 W Optional 30A Power Output back panel The Basics The SiteBoss 571 is a multi-function 1U system that facilitates advanced control and management capabilities into DC powered remote equipment sites. The 9 high-current fused DC power distribution outputs can each deliver up to 10A of current to the load (output voltage is determined by input voltage supplied to unit, 60VDC maximum).
Page 9: Serial Monitoring (Data Events)
Asentria SiteBoss 571 UserManual Serial Monitoring (Data Events) The S571 has the capability to monitor incoming data for user-defined strings and then report the event via several avenues. The S571 allows for up to 1000 different data events. Each data event can be configured with independent actions, counters, and other unique settings.
Page 10: Options
Asentria SiteBoss 571 UserManual  1 – Empty slot for a single 30-Amp circuit-breaker-protected power output, or 3 additional 10-Amp fused power outputs. Internal  On-board temperature sensor  Internal lithium coin-cell type battery backup*/** * Battery backup preserves clock operation when power is not present. Data records and settings are stored in non-volatile memory and therefore do not require battery backup.

The optional AISG module allows a user to tilt an antenna remotely. AISG stands for Antenna Interface Standards Group. They created open specifications for antenna control. For more information on this option please see the AISG Remote Antenna Controller Feature Guide available on the Asentria Product Information Portal or contact Asentria Technical Support.
Page 12: Usb Ports
The LEDs by each Ethernet connection on the back panel flicker when packets are being transmitted/received on that port. The S571 features network connectivity via Secure Shell (SSH) and Secure FTP (SFTP). Refer to the Securing a SiteBoss Application Guide on the Asentria Product Information Portal for a detailed explanation of SSH and SFTP. Page 12...

Page 14: Back Panel Ports & Connectors
Each power connector is protected by a GMT fuse – minimum rating 12A when runnng loads that approach 10A. Fuses may be provided by Asentria, but normally are provided by the end user. Asentria recommends using fuses rated at 20% higher current than the expected load.
