2 - Installation
2.1 What you need
To install inSentry on a network and change its default configuration, you need a
workstation running Microsoft Windows (9x, Me, NT4.0, 2000, XP or later). If your
network dynamically configures IP address, all you need is a workstation with a Web
Browser.
There are two methods for setting the inSentry configuration:
1. Set up the inSentry through the serial port
2. Set up the inSentry via a Web Browser
2.2 Hardware Installation
Use the following steps to install the inSentry
1. Connect the supplied RJ45/DB9(M) serial cable form the inSentry's RJ45
connector labeled "EMD-2" to the COM port on the PC.
NOTE: Please refer to the next section for serial port configuration, or go to the
last section of this chapter for configuration through a Web Browser.
2. Connect the supplied straight-through CAT 5 network cable from the
inSentry's RJ45 connector labeled "EMD-1" to the labeled "010101" port
on the EMD.
NOTE: If the configuration cable is still attached to the inSentry, remove and
store it for future use.
NOTE: If the supplied straight-through CAT5 network cable is not long enough for
your application, you may substitute a longer cable (not to exceed 20m/65.6ft).
3. If applicable, connect external contact closure inputs to the screw
terminals on the EMD (see Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1).
NOTE: Contact closure device 1 is connected between Pins 1 and 2. Device 2 is
connected between Pins 2 and 4(as labeled to show device1 and 2). Contact
closure devices may be normally open or normally closed.
4. Insert the power connector in the inSentry power inlet.
