Thresholds. All sensors have a default threshold that is generated automatically by Advanced View.
This threshold provides the typical threshold for the specific sensor type. Thresholds can be customized.
Sensor thresholds are explained in detail in “Advanced View: Defining Thresholds” on
page 107.
To enable or modify a sensor threshold:
1. Select a sensor from the Sensor list.
2. Select the threshold to enable or modify from the Thresholds list.
3. Click Edit....
4. The Edit Threshold window appears.
– To enable the threshold, check Enabled.
– To change threshold settings, use the controls in the Edit Threshold window.
5. Click OK.
The controls available in the Edit Threshold window are determined by the type of
threshold that you are creating or editing. For detailed instructions on how to create or
edit thresholds, see “Advanced View: Defining Thresholds” on page 107.
External ports
Select a sensor pod from the Sensor Pods window and click External Ports. If the device does not
include external ports, the External Ports button will be unavailable.
Note: For shared devices, a dialog box appears asking if you would like to connect to the
remote device. You must connect to the device to configure external ports. Clicking the
Connect to button causes Advanced View to switch the IP address in the Appliance field to
that of the remote device. You will then need to double-click the Sensor Pods icon from the
Configuration view to select the sensor pod again and configure external ports. Once
complete, use the Appliance drop-down list to select and reconnect to the host appliance.
1. Select the sensor type connected to each port from the Sensor Type drop-down list.
2. Type a label in the Port Label field to identify the sensor pod and port to which it is connected.
Click OK.
To add new sensor definitions to the list of sensor types, click Update Sensor Definitions. You can
either download a list of the latest sensor definitions from the NetBotz Web site, or load a sensor
definition list from a file on your system.
Defining custom dry contact or analog sensors.
Caution: For Advanced Users Only! To configure a custom dry contact or analog sensor
you must have extensive knowledge of the sensor hardware for which you are creating a
definition and of how sensors work in general. Refer questions about sensors and sensor
hardware to your site Web master, your network administration and IT staff, or to the
manufacturer of the sensor hardware.
Note: Custom sensors can only be added or removed. They cannot be edited. You can view
the custom sensor settings for selected sensors by clicking View.
