You must configure the plugin to connect to the Guardian Gateway
server so that Security
Center can receive gunshot
detection and sensor health events from the SDS Guardian system.
What you should know
IMPORTANT: Do not connect more than one SDS Guardian plugin to the same Guardian Gateway.
You can connect one plugin to multiple gateways, but one gateway should not be
connected to multiple plugins because the sensors of that gateway will be duplicated
and treated as different sets of entities in Security
Center.
Procedure
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
In the Plugins task, select the SDS Guardian plugin role from the entity
browser, and then click the Gateways tab.
-
Under the Gateways section, click Add
gateway ().
-
In the Guardian Gateway dialog box, configure the
following settings.
- Name
- Enter a name for the gateway.
- Server
- Enter the IP address of the Guardian Gateway server.
-
NOTE: Click on the switch to choose between IPv4 and IPv6 address formats.
- Port
- Enter the port number to connect to Guardian Gateway.
The default
port number is 31000.
-
Click OK.
Results
The gateway is listed as connected in the
Gateways section, and
a Guardian Gateway entity is created under the
SDS Guardian plugin in the entity browser.
