Commissioning
To commission the Reg-Sentry you will need to connect the unit to a PC using the network connector on
the p.c.b. Use a standard network cable (Cat 5e) to make this connection.
The following instructions assume a good working knowledge of the windows operating system.
I
f you are networking this unit, it is assumed that you have a good working knowledge of network
systems. If either of these assumptions are incorrect, it advised that you consult an expert before
attempting to commission the Reg-Sentry unit.
The Reg-Sentry uses a TCP/IP interface which is DHCP enabled. If a DHCP server is not detected the
Reg-Sentry unit will default to a static IP address of 192.168.0.204.
The Reg-Sentry uses port 50000 for its communications, if you are using a firewall you will need to
configure the firewall to allow access to port 50000 and to the SentryViewer program.
1) Install the Sentry Viewer onto your PC/Laptop using the installer package provided on the Reg-
Sentry CD.
Alternatively you can copy the “Reg-Sentry Viewer” folder onto your computer ( i.e. C:\ ). The “Reg-
Sentry Viewer” folder can be found on the Reg-Sentry CD.
2) Attach the Reg-Sentry to the computer using a Cat5e network cable.
3) Apply power to the Reg-Sentry. The “DSP_F” LED will start flashing, wait until this LED stops
flashing and is continually lit (the LED is green in colour). N.B. no processing will occur until this
LED has stopped flashing.
4) Launch the Sentry Viewer using the executable file “SentryViewer.exe” or desktop icon.

5) Enter the IP address assigned to the Reg-Sentry into Sentry ID box. The default IP address when not
using a DHCP server is 192.168.0.204. If you are connecting to a DHCP server then you will need to
contact your network administrator to obtain the IP address of your device. If you have problems
connecting to the Reg-Sentry then refer to the Network settings section of this manual.
