Common features of the Damocles2 family
Displayed readings
• Damocles2 displays current values of all digital inputs (DI).
• Inputs feature pulse counters for connecting energy meters with S0 outputs.
• An input is considered active (for Alarm state purposes) if it is closed for more than approx.
900ms (inputs are sampled approximately every 30 ms because of S0).
• Alarm state can be set independently for each input (contact).
• If the Alarm is not assigned to any channel (SMS, Email, SNMP Trap), the alarm is not notified
and the corresponding line is highlighted in yellow at the first page (General).
• Upon Alarm, the device can send a SNMP Trap, E-mail, or SMS.
• Damocles2 notifies both the beginning and the end of an alarm (contact closing and contact
opening).
• Supports a shared HWg-SMS-GW3 gateway for texting.
• Supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3.
• Supports e-mail authentication via TLS.

To set up the filter, specify the base IP address and the mask that define the trusted range ac-
cording to the formula below (AND is bitwise multiplication). Access is granted if the condition
is true.
(IP trying to access AND Mask Value) = IP Address Value

User Passwords
Two separate user accounts (username and password) can be set up for SNMP and HTTP
access.
• Account types:
• Read Only – can only read values and configuration settings.
• Read Only + Outputs – can read values and set outputs, cannot change configuration settings
(not even input names).
• Read & Write – can perform any changes.
• After setting up a username and a password, you will be asked to log in every time you try
to open the Web interface.
• Passwords also apply to access to /values.xml and /setup.xml – see the table.
In case of “Read Only” user for HTTP access, you will no longer be able to change configuration
settings in the web interface.
What to do if you forget your password
• Restore the factory-default configuration of the device by one of the following methods:
• Use the UDP Config utility (must run on the same network segment).
Right-click the line corresponding to the device and select “Load defaults” from the pop-up
menu.
• Use the DIP Load defaults feature.
Toggle DIP1 several times during the first 5 seconds after powering up the device.
HTTPS Server Certificate files
Used to manage certificates needed for the HTTPS server. Allows you to upload or delete apublic
key, a private key, or a certificate of the certificate authority (CA) that has issued the public key
certificate.
SNMP
The SNMP Setup tab allows you to configure the settings for communication with the device using
the SNMP protocol. The page content is slightly different for SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. See below.
SNMPv1
General SNMP Settings
• SNMP port – Communication port to use for the SNMP protocol [161].
• SNMP Port Listener – Port for receiving SNMP traps from Poseidon and Damocles devices in
Box2Box communication mode [162].
• SNMP Version – SNMP protocol version setting [1].
SNMPv3 is recommended for secure communication – enable it here.
SNMP Access
Defines names and access rights for groups of users that can work with the Damocles device.
• Community – Textual name of the authorized group (usually Public and Private).
• Read – The community is authorized to read variables over SNMP.
• Write – The community is authorized to write values to variables over SNMP.

Modbus
Note: The Modbus/TCP protocol is not secured in any way. We do not recommend using it outside of an
isolated network. For basic security, it can be combined with the IP address filter.
E-mail
• SMTP Server – Host name or IP address of the SMTP server.
• SMTP Port – Port for communication with the SMTP server (25 by default).
• E-mail Sender Address – E-mail address that will be shown in the “From” field.
• Authentication – Enables username/password authentication if the SMTP server requires it.
• Secure TLS mode – Activates SSL/TLS authentication (e.g. for gmail).
• Name – Username for authentication with the SMTP server.
• Password – Password for authentication with the SMTP server.
• E-mail Subject Text – Subject of the e-mails sent, followed by the default e-mail text (see e-mail
format).
• Alarm E-mail Recipient – E-mail address of the main recipient (To).
• Alarm E-mail Copy – E-mail address of the carbon-copy recipient (Cc).
• Periodic Log Recipient – E-mail address of the recipient for periodically e-mailed logs.
• Send Test Email button – sends a test e-mail.
Periodic Status Settings
• Periodical Status – when enabled, sends an e-mail with device status at the specified
intervals. For example every 24 hours (1440 minutes).
• Alarm reminder – when active, sends periodic reminders that the device is in the Alarm state.
For example every 15 minutes.
