You can use the four inputs on the Synergis Cloud Link
appliance to monitor the physical installation of the appliance. For example, you can connect
an input to a tamper switch on the enclosure in which the appliance is installed.
What you should know
- You can set a special behavior for each input. Each special behavior corresponds to
an event you can receive in the Monitoring task:
Special behavior |
Security Center
event |
AC failure |
AC fail |
Tamper switch |
Hardware tamper |
Battery failure |
Battery fail |
- You can view the state changes of the inputs on the I/O
diagnostics page in the Synergis™ Appliance Portal.

Select your Synergis Cloud Link unit, and click the
Hardware tab.
-
Click the Onboard IO tab, and then configure the
inputs:

None. Select one of the following:
- AC failure
- Tamper switch
- Battery failure
- Input configuration
- Select one of the following:
- Unsupervised
- Inputs are unsupervised by default.
- Three states

Results
When an input is in an non-normal state, the
Synergis Cloud Link unit turns yellow, and you receive an entity
warning. If you were monitoring the
Synergis Cloud Link unit and
the special behavior events, you receive the event corresponding to the input's special
behavior in the
Monitoring task.
