I. ABOUT THE PoE•X OPEN / CLOSED SENSOR
The Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) Open / Closed Sensor uses an external
magnetic switch to detect the presence or removal of a trigger magnet.
When the sensor detects that the magnet is removed or returned it sends the
information to iMonnit. Notications can be set up through the online system
to alert the user when a magnetic source is present or not with the ability to
only notify within time of day parameters.

II. SENSOR SECURITY
Security is paramount for the PoE•X Sensor when it comes to managing your
data and transferring it to sensors. iMonnit is the online software and central hub
for conguring your device settings. All data is secured on dedicated servers
operating Microsoft SQL Server.
Data Security on the Sensor
The fortied sensor secures your data from attackers and secures the sensor
from becoming a relay for malicious programs. Even when the sensor is at rest,
the PoE•X Sensor is designed to prevent prying eyes from accessing the data.
The Monnit PoE•X Sensor does not run on an o󰀨-the-shelf multi-function OS
(operating system). Instead it runs a purpose-specic real-time embedded state
machine that can’t be hacked to run malicious processes. It also provides no
active interface listeners that can be used to gain access to the device over the
network.
iMONNIT Security
Access is granted through the iMonnit user interface, or an Application
Programming Interface (API) safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security
(TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is a blanket of protection to encrypt all data exchanged
between iMonnit and you. The same encryption is available to you whether you
are a Basic or Premiere user of iMonnit. You can rest assured that your data is
safe with iMonnit.
III. ORDER OF OPERATIONS
It is important to understand the order of operations for activating your PoE•X
Sensor. If performed out of sequence, your sensor may have trouble
communicating with iMonnit. Please follow the steps below to make sure
you are performing your set-up correctly.
SET-UP STEPS
1. Register your PoE•X Sensor on iMonnit.
Add your PoE•X Sensor to the iMonnit account (see page 3 for
step-by-step directions).
2. Connect the ethernet and power cords to the sensor.
Plug in powered ethernet cable. Depending on your facility, you might need
to plug in both the ethernet cable and power cord.
3. Mount your sensor.
Place your sensor in the desired location using screws or double-sided
tape.
Note: Each step is covered in more detail in the following sections.

IV. REGISTRATION
If this is your rst time using the iMonnit online portal, you will need to create a
new account. If you have already created an account, start by logging in. For
instructions on how to register for an iMonnit account, please consult the iMonnit
User Guide at https://www.monnit.com/support/documentation.
REGISTERING THE PoE•X SENSOR
1. Add the sensor on iMonnit.
Add the sensor to your account by choosing Sensors in the main menu.
Navigate to the Add Sensor button.
2. Find the device ID. See Figure 1.
The Device ID (ID) and Security Code
(SC) are necessary to add a sensor.
These can both be located on the label
on the bottom of your device.
3. Adding your device. See Figure 2.
You will need to enter the Device ID
and the Security Code from your PoE•X
Sensor in the corresponding text boxes.
Use the camera on your smartphone to
scan the QR code on your device. If you
do not have a camera on your phone,
or the system is not accepting the QR
code, you may enter the Device ID
and Security Code manually.
• The Device ID is a uni q u e n u m b e r
located on each device label.
• Next, you’ll be asked to enter the Security Code on your device. A
security code consists of letters and must be entered in upper case, no
numbers. It can also be found on the barcode label of your device.
When completed, select the Add Device button.
