Add pods to your appliance

The NetBotz Room Monitor 455 supports the following pods:

•A combined total of two Camera Pod 160s, Camera Pod 160s, and CCTV Adapter Pod 120s.

•A combined total of two Sensor Pod 150s, Sensor Pod 155s, Sensor Pod 120s, and 4-20mA Input Pod 120s.

Camera Pods, Sensor Pod 120s, and 4-20mA Input Pod 120s can be connected directly to the appliance USB port, or you can connect a USB hub to your appliance and then connect pods to the hub. Hubs can also be daisy chained, and pods can be connected to the daisy-chained hubs as long as the pod is no more than the fifth device in the chain.

Note: Due to power requirements, Camera Pod 160s, Sensor Pod 120s, CCTV Adapter Pod 120s, and 4-20mA Input Pod 120s must be connected either directly to the USB port at the appliance or to a USB hub receiving power from an external source. RS232-based sensors or devices can be connected to unpowered USB hubs.

As pods are connected to your appliance, they automatically appear in the Navigation pane in both the Basic and Advanced View interfaces. Newly added pods are labeled by their pod type and their serial number.

Once a pod is added, you can change its label using either the Basic View or the Advanced View.

•Once connected, CCTV Adapter Pod 120s require additional configuration before they can be used.

For more information, see “Install and configure a CCTV adapter pod 120” on page 27.

•If you connect a pod and then disconnect it, its entry in the Navigation pane in the Advanced View is grayed out. If you reconnect a disconnected pod, its Navigation pane entry becomes active again.
