A detailed description and operating instructions for the ETHM-A module via GX Soft tool can be found on the official Satel website: ETHM-A – SATEL.

To configure minimum required settings which allow communication between Satel2 ETHM-A universal monitoring module and Axxon One, read the instructions below.







Connecting the GX Soft tool to the Satel2 ETHM-A universal monitoring module 

To connect the GX Soft tool to the Satel2 ETHM-A universal monitoring module, do the following:

  1. Open the GX Soft tool.

    Recommended version: 2.1.5 or later.

  2. Click the + button to create a new project.
  3. From the drop-down list, select ETHM-A.
     
  4.  Click the CONNECTION button.
  5. Specify the connection method, and then select a module from the list of detected modules. If the module is not automatically detected, you can manually specify the connection settings.

If the settings are correct, you will be able to establish the connection by clicking the dedicated button on the top panel.

Preview and configuration of inputs and outputs

Input/Output preview

GX Soft tool allows you to view the status of the module's inputs and outputs in real time. You can preview the status by clicking the Input/Output states button.

Input/Output configuration

Configuration of Satel2 ETHM-A inputs and outputs is not possible via Axxon One VMS; you can configure them via GX Soft tool.

In order to configure inputs and outputs of Satel2 ETHM-A universal monitoring module, please refer to the ETHM-A general information manual, available on the manufacturer's website.

Preparing connection to Axxon One server 

In order to prepare the connection between Axxon One server and Satel2 ETHM-A universal monitoring module, do the following:  

  1. Go to HARDWARE → NETWORK and set up a static IP address for the Satel2 ETHM-a universal monitoring module. It must belong to the same network as Axxon One server.


  2. Go to FUNCTIONS → COMMUNICATION, and set the Connect to GX Soft and Direct connection checkboxes to be able to establish a LAN connection to the GX Soft software.
  3. Go to FUNCTIONS → IoT and configure the settings according to the table below.
