4.6.1 I/O > Status
The VIP4G has 4 status inputs, which can be used with various alarms and sensors for monitoring, telling
the modem when certain events have occurred, such as an intrusion alarm on a door, a temperature
threshold has been exceed, or a generator has failed, out of fuel. Also included are 4 outputs, that can be
used to drive external relays to remotely control equipment and devices.
Input Status
The WebUI will display the current state of each input. The I/O pins are all normally open so an open status
indicates that there is nothing connected to the input pins, or that an event has not occurred to trigger the
input. The inputs have a small wetting current (Vin) used to detect a contact closure, and prevent false
readings by any noise or intermittent signals, it has a threshold sensitivity of 1.8V.
Output Status
The WebUI will display the current state of each control output. Using the Output menu discussed in the
next section, a user can remotely control the status of the output pins.
