SiteMon IP Overview1
The SiteMON IP G2 is part RTU, part camera - offering everything you need
to take remote site security to the next level.
The SiteMON IP G2 — Achieve Visual Remote Site Visibility
With the SiteMON IP G2, you don’t have to wonder what’s happening at your sites. You can see for yourself.
Added security for co-location sites can now be provided using the SiteMON IP G2. The SiteMON IP G2 reports
directly to your T/Mon or PC and delivers high-quality image viewing of your remote site. This provides a great
advantage for co-location sites where chances for interference with your equipment are particularly high.
With multiple vendors co-locating equipment at each site, and each vendor having its own support staff,
opportunities for interference with your equipment increase, malicious or not. Simply put, the more people with
access to your equipment, the more security issues arise. No longer will network managers be forced to sit and
wonder what is happening at their remote sites - hoping everything is fine. Now they’ll be able to view live
images from their sites and equipment with T/GFX, or cache them on a local PC for viewing later. The
SiteMON IP G2 is also valuable for walking technicians through repairs from the comfort of your central office.
With the SiteMON IP G2, you can:
·Capture images 6X faster than the previous model
·NEW! Digital pan for viewing live images
·Mount the camera at harsh weather sites with the wide-temp chassis design
·Enhance security both inside and out with the option for an exterior camera casing
·View live images in T/GFX or cache them on your PC for playback later
·New! Store up to 63 images locally or 10,000 using T/Mon's image receiver job
·Detect fault conditions (like motion sensors and doors) with 2 local alarm inputs
·Operate devices remotely (like turning on lights and unlock doors) with 2 local relay outputs
·Visually confirm who has arrived on-site before granting them access
·Track changing environmental conditions with internal and external temperature sensors
·Power peripherals (like motion sensors) with 12 or 24VDC power
·Use the integrated web browser to change configuration settings and monitor from any PC on the network

SiteMON IP G2 Back Panel5
Power Connection5.1
The SiteMON IP G2 has one screw terminal barrier plug power connectors, located on the back panel of the
camera.
Before you connect a power supply to the SiteMON IP G2, test the voltage of your power supply:
·Connect the black common lead of a voltmeter to the ground terminal of the battery, and connect the red
lead of the voltmeter to the battery's –48 VDC terminal. The voltmeter should read between –43 and –53
VDC. If the reading is outside this range, test the power supply.
To connect the SiteMON IP G2 to a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Remove the fuse from the back of the camera. Do not reinsert the fuse until all connections to the unit
have been made.
2. Remove the power connector plug. Note that the plug can be inserted into the power connector only one
way —this ensures that the barrier plug can only be reinserted with the correct polarity. Note that the –
48V terminal is on the left and the GND terminal is on the right.
3. Insert a battery ground into the power connector plug's right terminal and tighten the screw; then
insert a –48 VDC line to the plug's left terminal and tighten its screw.
4. Push the power connector plug firmly back into the power connector. If the power feed is connected
correctly, the LED by the connector will light GREEN. If the polarity of the power feed is reversed, the
LED will not illuminate.
5. Reinsert the fuse to power the SiteMON IP G2. The back panel LEDs will flash RED and GREEN.

8
LAN Connection5.2
The SiteMON IP G2 has one 10BaseT Ethernet port. The 10BaseT port requires a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable.
If the IP connection is OK, the LNK LED on the back of the camera will light solid green when the cable is
connected.
Discrete Alarms5.3
Discrete alarm points can connect as a dry contact or a contact to ground
The SiteMON IP G2 features 2 discrete alarm inputs —also called digital inputs or contact closures. Discrete
alarms are either activated or inactive, so they're typically used to monitor on/off conditions like power outages,
equipment failures, door alarms and so on.
The SiteMON IP G2's discrete alarm points are single-lead signals referenced to ground. The ground side of each
alarm point is internally wired to ground, so alarm points can connect either as a dry contact or a contact to
ground.
In a dry contact alarm, the alarm lead brings a contact to the ground lead, activating the alarm. In a contact to
ground alarm, a single wire brings a contact to an external ground, activating the alarm. See the diagram above.
You can reverse the polarity of each individual discrete alarm point, so that the alarm is activated when the
contact is open.
Control Relay Outputs5.4
SiteMON IP G2's two control relay outputs are designed to control external devices. You can use both controls to
turn on lights, unlock doors, etc. The two 3-pin connectors on the back of the camera are used to terminate the
controls.

9
+12 or +24VDC Sensor Power Supply5.5
The SiteMON IP G2 features a power circuit used to provide fused +12V sensor power. You can use this power
supply to operate auxiliary devices, such as motion sensors. The two-pin connector for the sensor power supply
is a barrier plug connector similar to the main power connector.
To power an external sensor, follow these steps:
1. Remove the 1/2 amp fuse from the back panel of the SiteMON IP G2. Do not reinsert the fuse until all
power connections to the external sensor have been made.
2. Remove the power connector plug from the sensor power supply. Note that the plug can be inserted into
the power connector only one way — this ensures that the barrier plug can only be reinserted with the
correct polarity. Note that the positive terminal is on the left and the negative terminal is on the right.
3. Connect the appropriate leads to each of the plug's screw terminals and tighten the screws.
4. Push the power connector plug firmly back into the sensor power supply connector.
5. Reinsert the fuse to power the external sensor.
Internal and External Temperature Sensors5.6
Stereo jack input on the back of the SiteMON IP G2
The external temperature sensor
The SiteMON IP G2 features both an internal and external temperature sensor. The external sensor is used to
monitor the ambient temperature. Both of the temperature sensors measures a range of 32° F to 140° F (0° C to
60° C) within an accuracy of ± 1°.
The external temperature sensor probe provides external temperature readings by plugging the sensor into the
Temp port (stereo jack connector) on the back of the camera. External temperature sensor sold separately.

Configuring the SiteMON IP7
The SiteMON IP G2 must be provisioned with log-on username and passwords, alarm descriptions, port
parameters, control descriptions, and other system information. You can provision the SiteMON IP G2 using
either the TTY interface and integrated Web Browser.
To access the SiteMON IP G2 via LAN, you must first make a temporary connection to the SiteMON IP G2 and
assign it an IP address on your network. For more information, see the next section "Connecting to the SiteMON
IP G2."
Connecting to the SiteMON IP8
... via Craft Port8.1
The simplest way to connect to the SiteMON IP G2 is over a physical cable connection between your PC's COM
port and the camera's craft port.
Note: You must be connected via craft port to use the TTY interface. You only need a connection to the unit to
read or write configuration to its NVRAM. Use the craft port cable provided with the camera to make a craft port
connection.
Select the following COM port options:
• Bits per second: 115200
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
Press Enter to begin the TTY session. The default username is "admin" and the password is "dpstelecom". Note:
The factory-default username and password is all lowercase.
You can perform basic configuration via the craft port - but if you like, you can connect via the craft port just to
configure the SiteMON's IP address, and then do the rest of your configuration via a LAN connection.

12
... via LAN8.2
SiteMON IP G2's 10BaseT Ethernet port
You can also connect to the SiteMON IP G2 over a LAN connection. This is a very convenient way to provision
multiple cameras at multiple locations.
To connect to the NetGuardian via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is
192.168.1.100).
If you have physical access to the SiteMON IP G2, the easiest thing to do is connect to the camera through the
craft port and then assign it an IP address. Then you can complete the rest of the unit configuration over a remote
LAN connection. For instructions, see the previous section, "Connecting to the SiteMON IP G2 via Craft Port."
If you DON'T have physical access to the SiteMON IP G2, you can make a LAN connection to the unit by
temporarily changing your PC's IP address and subnet mask to match the camera's factory default IP settings.
Follow these steps:
1. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
2. Reset your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.200.
3. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your changes.
4. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the SiteMON IP G2's, you can
access the camera via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the default IP address of
192.168.1.100.
5. Provision the SiteMON IP G2 with the appropriate information, then change your computer's IP address
and subnet mask back to their original settings.

13
TTY Interface9
The TTY interface initial configuration screen
The TTY interface is the camera's built-in provision tool for basic configuration. Use the TTY interface to
configure the ethernet port settings.
To use the TTY interface with the SiteMON, all you need is any PC with terminal emulation software (i.e.
Hyperterminal) and a connection to the SiteMON IP G2. This can be a direct connection to the camera's back
craft port or a remote connection via Telnet.
Some initial software configuration must be performed before you can use a remote connection to the SiteMON
IP G2. For Telnet, connect to the camera's IP address at port 2002 to access the configuration menus after initial
LAN setup. Telnet sessions are established at port 2002, not the standard Telnet port as an added security
measure.
NOTE: The TTY default username is "admin" and the password is "dpstelecom".
