Introducon
Overview
The ION F-SP 12 Sensor Pod is designed to make
environmental monitoring a straight-forward
exercise, taking away the hassle of maintaining
on-site monitoring systems, and allowing easy-
integraon into any exisng monitoring tool.
Out of the box you will nd the Sensor Pod itself,
a rack mount kit, and a complimentary F-SPTS
temperature sensor.
The below gure outlines the ports available on the
F-SP12 and their use.
The ION range of advanced environmental monitoring
sensors, as well as integraon with 3rd party sensors
makes the SP-12 the best choice for use in your
Data-Centre.

The F-SP 12 provides two methods of providing
power to the unit. Upon power up, the LCD display
will turn on. The rst is through a standard C13
10A AC plug. The unit will draw a maximum of 25W
through this interface and is earthed through the
metal chassis.
Once a network cable is applied, the sensor pod will
start inializing and aempt to connect to a DHCP
network. If it can not nd a DHCP network, it will
enable its interface with the following factory default
stac network details.
The Included 16x2 character LCD and accompanying
selecon buons allow easy interacon to view the
current status of the aached sensors, any acve
alarms, and the sengs of the Sensorpod.
The LCD Interface is divided into menus, which can
be changed by scrolling horizontally using the top
buon. Under each menu will be a list of items in that
menu, which can be scrolled using the lower buon.
Powering Up
Network Discovery
Using The LCD
The second is through the oponal PoE adapter
through the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port, which
meets the specicaons of IEEE802.3at. Any PoE
compable switch or network devices can be used to
power up the unit, and it will draw a maximum of 16W.
IP: 192.168.0.5
SUBNET: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.0.1
At any me, the current IP Address of the sensor pod
can be checked using the LCD screen and buons.
Once you’re in a sub-menu, you can press the top
buon to go back up to the main menu list.
For example, in order to view the details of any tripped
alarms, you can press the top buon unl you get to
the menu item “Acve Alarms”. The number below it
will indicate how many alarms are currently acve,
and if there are any, you can use the boom buon to
scroll down that list, to view the messages reported by
the alarms.

Once the network details have been conrmed, all
further conguraon can take place by using the
on-board web portal. To connect, from a computer
on the same network, head over to the IP address
of the sensor pod.
eg: hp://192.168.0.5/
You should be greeted with a page which asks for
a username and password. The default username
and password are below, and these can be changed
later using the web interface.

an individual sensor.
Conguring Alarms
Once logged in, the home page of the web portal
will show an overview of all the sensors connected
to the device. The sensors are ordered by the
physical port numbers they are plugged into.
Each Port has its own set of opons used for
conguring the alarms and name of the port.
Clicking on the sengs icon of a port will take you
to the conguraon for that sensor.
Depending on the type of sensor, you will be
provided dierent opons for conguring alarms on
the sensor. By Default, any sensor that provides a
linear range of values, such as a temperature sensor,
will have a minimum and maximum threshold alarm.
If at any me the value of this sensor goes outside
these thresholds, an alarm will be raised. A sensor
with a simple binary reading, such as a Dry Contact
sensor, will have a “Normal” value that can be set,
such as Normally Open, or Normally Closed. If at
any me the sensor is not at its normal value, an
alarm will be raised.
The ‘Disconnecon’ Alarm indicates whether an
alarm should be generated when the sensor cable is
unplugged from the Sensorpod.
Each port can also have a custom name, to make
clearer what the sensor is used for. By default, the
name is the leer of the alphabet that corresponds to
the physical port number.

Changing Sengs
The other funconality of the web portal is to
change system sengs that the Sensorpod
uses. This includes; Email server sengs, login
username/passwords, SNMP sengs, and Network
conguraon.
The Sengs menu can be found by clicking on the
Sengs icon in the navigaon bar on the far le.
All Alarm nocaon setup is done in the
‘Alarms’ sub-menu. By default, any alarm that is
generated by seng the thresholds as dened in
‘CONFIGURING ALARMS’, will aempt to nofy
the recipient set under ‘Alarm Groups’. A single
alarm will be sent when the alarm is tripped, and a
follow-up email when the alarm has been reset. In
an upcoming rmware update, users will have more
verbose control over alarm nocaons.
SMTP Server sengs allow conguraon of the SMTP
server the Sensor pod will use to send out nocaon
emails. Current server sengs allow the use of
Insecure SMTP server relays only, as well as LOGIN
and PLAIN Authencaon opons.
SNMP sengs allow conguraon of the SNMP Agent
running on the Sensor Pod. The MIB le running on
the SNMP Agent can be downloaded from the sengs
page, or at the ION website.
The ‘System’ sub-menu is used to change
system sengs such as login password
and the current Date and Time.
The ‘Network’ sub-menu is used to modify
the connecon details of the network
interface, including DHCP status, IP
Addresses and DNS server.

ION is constantly making improvements to the
Sensor Pod, including the web interface. Any
available rmware updates will be located on the
ION Website, along with a cross-platform
Firmware Upgrade Utility.
