  • Page 3: About The Poe•X Open / Close Sensor

    I. ABOUT THE PoE•X OPEN / CLOSED SENSOR The Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Open / Closed Sensor uses an external magnetic switch to detect the presence or removal of a trigger magnet. When the sensor detects that the magnet is removed or returned it sends the information to iMonnit.

  • Page 4: Sensor Security

    Even when the sensor is at rest, the PoE•X Sensor is designed to prevent prying eyes from accessing the data. The Monnit PoE•X Sensor does not run on an off-the-shelf multi-function OS (operating system). Instead it runs a purpose-specific real-time embedded state machine that can’t be hacked to run malicious processes.

  • Page 10 If the user has calibrated the sensor, the Calibrate Active field is set False (0) and the sensor is operating inside the Min and Max Thresholds, the bits look like 00000000 ─ this is represented as 0. If the sensor is using factory calibrations and it is outside the threshold, the bit values are 00010010 and it is represented as 18 (16 + 2 because both the bit in the 16 value is set and the bit in the 2 value is set).

  • Page 11: Interface Settings

    See Figure 9. SNMP Interface ─ SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an Internet appli- cation protocol that manages and monitors network device functionality. Monnit uses SNMP version 1. These settings can both be configured on iMonnit and the local interface.
