Additional Screens And Interfaces
The Room Alert Signal Tower Settings Screen is used to modify the Room Alert Signal Tower
conguration. Here users can congure Network, SMTP Email, SNMP, Alert, Sensors, Ping Options,
Alarm Options, Security and Advanced settings. Settings can be modied in multiple sections before
saving to the device. After changes in one section have been made, click the ‘OK’ button to temporarily
save the changes. When all desired changes have been made, click the ‘Save Settings’ link on the left
menu to save settings to the device. When settings are modied and saved, Room Alert Signal Tower
will automatically reset and start with the new conguration.
Network
The ‘Network’ section displays settings to control how Room Alert Signal Tower appears on the local
network. Modifying the Device Name will change how Room Alert Signal Tower reports to the DHCP
server when attempting to obtain a dynamic IP address. This label must be unique, so take care when
assigning the DHCP Name to ensure that duplicate labels do not appear on the network. This will also be
the name that appears on the Status screen and in Device Manager.
To set a static IP address, select the ‘Use The Following IP Conguration’ radio button and enter the IP
Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Address.
If you wish to use a domain name instead of an IP address for the ‘Mail Server Address’ in the ‘Email’
section, be sure to enter the IP address of your DNS Server in the ‘DNS Address’ eld.
NOTE: In many cases, the DNS Server IP address is the same as the IP address entered into the ‘Gateway IP’ eld. If this
does not work, please contact your network administrator for further assistance.
NOTE: If using PageR Enterprise to monitor the Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box, it is STRONGLY recommended that a static
IP address be assigned to the device to ensure that PageR can nd the unit. The IP address assigned must also be excluded
from DHCP assignment to ensure that the IP address of the Room Alert Signal Tower ID Box is NOT given to another device
on your network. If you are unsure what this means, please contact your Network Administrator for assistance.
