Sentry-RMS Configuration Manual
Setup Manual
1 Overview
The purpose of the Sentry Remote Monitoring System (Sentry-RMS) is to provide a security system focused on the protection of
radiological material by sending reliable transmission of alarms to responders at security monitors and by protecting against insider
threats. The Sentry-RMS measures gamma radiation dose rates from 100 mrem per hour to 1000 rem per hour.
The Sentry-RMS Configuration Tool (SCT) provides a simple process for configuration settings that interface with the Sentry-RMS
(see Figure 1).
Figure 1 - Configuration Tool flow diagram
V030454_10_sentryRMS_Configuration_and_Installation_Manual.docx
Page 8 of 110
2016-06-30
The Sentry-RMS Configuration Tool (SCT) is a web interface used to configure Sentry Remote Monitoring System (Sentry-RMS)
devices. The SCT configures the hardware of the Sentry-RMS, and associates the Sentry-RMS with one or more monitoring stations
(running the Operating Interface Software). NOTE: Another configuration tool is called the Operator Interface Configuration Tool
(OICT). The OICT is used to configure the monitoring stations associated with the Sentry-RMS. A complete Sentry-RMS
configuration procedure requires using both the SCT and the OICT. The SCT must be configured using this manual, then the user can
set up the OICT using the Operator Interface Configuration Tool Manual.
2 Terminology
• Alarm – An alarm is a serious event that indicates an attempt to access the Sentry-RMS enclosure or Asset source, or other critical
event. Alarms will only be associated with unauthorized access or scheduled maintenance. Alarm priorities vary. A high-radiation
alarm has the highest priority followed by a tamper-indicating device (TID) tamper alarm.
• Alert – Alerts indicate a fault event that prevents the Sentry-RMS from providing its intended protection. Alerts are usually
associated with a failure such as a loss of communications. Alerts can also be related to deliberate sabotage of the Sentry-RMS to aid
an attack on the asset.
• Asset – Any machine or device containing radioactive source material designated for protection by the Sentry-RMS
• Event – Any event that generates an alarm, alert, or Sentry-RMS system message regarding a change in status
• Relay, Normally Open - Relay is open in a non-alarming state.
• Relay, Normally Closed - Relay is closed (i.e. shorted) in a non-alarming state.
• Sentry-SEAL - A device designed to be attached to a secured surface adjacent to the protected object, or mounted inside a SentryRMS case, or in a junction box. If an attempt is made to remove the entire protective enclosure, Sentry-SEAL will trigger an alarm.
• Sentry-SEAL Wireless - A system consisting of a Sentry-SEAL Wireless Receiver in wireless communication with a Sentry-SEAL
Wireless Transmitter. This wireless Receiver and Transmitter accomplishes the same purpose as the Sentry-SEAL, the difference
being that the Transmitter can be in one location, and the Receiver can be in another.

• Sentry-RMS – The “Sentry-RMS” may refer to the core Sentry-RMS hardware, or it may refer to the full Sentry-RMS architecture
from the TID sensors, to the user interface platform, and ancillary network communications that connect users to Sentry-RMS data.
• Site – The site refers to a location where Sentry-RMS units are installed. A site may encompass many buildings, such as a university
campus or hospital complex.
• Tamper Indicating Device – The TID is an actively-monitored seal or other sensor that detects tampering of the asset enclosure that
could lead to removal of the source.
• Operator Interface – The operator interface refers to the monitoring software that personnel have to receive, assess, and acknowledge
alarms.

3 Browser Requirements
The SCT will work with the following browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer (version 9 and above). For Internet
Explorer 9, compatibility view should be disabled when view the webpage.
4 Hardware Installation Section
Before the Sentry-RMS can be configured in correlation with the SCT, the Sentry-RMS must be mounted to a wall and power
supplied to the unit by a qualified electrician. Then, the steps for the SCT software/firmware configuration should be completed.
Following the configuration, the rest of the hardware installation should be completed, including Ethernet hookup, terminal
connection of sensor inputs, and camera installation. It is crucial that a qualified person connect any user-provided Tamper
Identification Devices (TIDs), alarm panel outputs, or additional alarm inputs to the Sentry-RMS, as applicable.
It is recommended that two people mount the box to the wall, for the safety of the installers.
All of the above-mentioned steps are outlined in the following pages.

4.1.1 Steps for Mounting the Sentry-RMS
4.1.1.1 Locate a stable place to mount the Sentry-RMS. If the device is being mounted on gypsum/sheetrock, or other fragile surface,
ensure that the Sentry-RMS will have the center of the mounting bracket placed directly over something such as a wood or
metal wall stud.
4.1.1.2 Mark where the 10 holes for the mounting bracket will be drilled, using the mounting bracket as a template. Be certain to line
up the middle of the bracket over a secure location such as a wood or metal wall stud. Properly and safely drill holes for the
wall anchors and then insert the wall anchors.
4.1.1.3 Place the mounting bracket over the holes and insert one flat-head, counter-sunk screw into each mounting hole.
4.1.1.4 Lift the Sentry-RMS up onto mounting bracket, aligning the 4 mounting studs with the holes in the chassis of the SentryRMS. For personal safety reasons, a second person should assist with this and the next three steps.
4.1.1.5 Place one of the provided, water-tight sealing washers on each mounting stud.
4.1.1.6 Place one of the provided Nyloc nuts on top of the washer on the mounting stud, and tighten the nut down with the 7/16”
socket wrench until secure.
4.1.1.7 Repeat for the other three mounting studs (see Figure 5 for an example of the location of the right, lower mounting stud,
sealing washer, and Nyloc nut).

4.2.1 Steps for providing power to the Sentry-RMS
4.2.1.1 Follow all steps required by the National Electric Code (NEC) to deliver 120VAC power to the Sentry-RMS terminal box
using 16 AWG, Stranded Wire. (see Figure 6).
4.2.1.2 It is recommended that AC power be provided to the Sentry-RMS through a dedicated, non-switched circuit breaker (at least
10 amps with max. 20 amps).
CAUTION: BE SURE THAT THE AC WALL BREAKER PROVIDING POWER IS OFF WHEN INSTALLING
THE Sentry-RMS.
4.2.1.3 Access the Sentry-RMS power terminals through the upper conduit knockout. Install NEMA 4 protective conduit and
properly anchor to the Sentry-RMS chassis. Ethernet cable should be installed inside conduit separate from the conduit
through which the AC power wiring enters. NOTE:Conduit knockouts can also be created on the bottom of the unit by a
licensed electrician.

Hardware included: N/A
Tools needed: N/A
User-provided supplies: Ethernet cable (the length should be sufficient to reach from where the Sentry-RMS will be
installed to where the cable will be plugged into the wall, router, or into a computer)
4.3.1 Steps for installing Ethernet cables
4.3.1.1 An Ethernet cable will be used in order to begin the setup of the Sentry-RMS Configuration Tool (SCT), and to access the
SCT web page. There are two options on how the user can proceed: Option 1 is to use DHCP on the primary Ethernet
V030454_10_sentryRMS_Configuration_and_Installation_Manual.docx
Page 19 of 110
2016-06-30
Communications port, or Option 2 is to use a local connection by using a laptop plugged into the Maintenance Port. Choose
one of these options, and follow the steps listed.
4.3.1.1.1 Option 1: If the user is going to use DHCP on the Primary Ethernet Communications port, do the following:
 Take Ethernet cables and attach them to the following:
o Rear left jack: Primary Communications computer/network cable (see Figure 7).
 Run the other end of the cable(s) up through the top of the Sentry-RMS (through a conduit knockout
hole) and insert the Primary Ethernet cable into the site network router or switch.
 When beginning the software portion of setting up the Sentry-RMS (see Section 5 of this manual), assign a
fixed IP address for the Primary Communications port on the site DHCP server using the first MAC address
found on the sticker inside the Sentry-RMS box.
o If the user is going to have a Secondary Communications port, repeat this process for the Secondary
port (Rear middle jack) using the second MAC address (see Figure 7). The Secondary fixed IP
address must be on a separate subnet.
Figure 7 - Network Ethernet jacks
4.3.1.1.2
Option 2: If the user is going to use a local connection using a laptop plugged into the Maintenance Port, do
the following, when proceeding with the software setup of the Sentry-RMS (see Section 5 of this manual):
 Ensure that the laptop is running with automatic or DHCP assigned addressing.
V030454_10_sentryRMS_Configuration_and_Installation_Manual.docx

4.4.1 Steps for Mounting Additional Cameras
4.4.1.1 Each Sentry-RMS will typically come with 2 pre-installed, chassis-mounted cameras. This manual will assume that the user
will be installing as many as 2 additional cameras, mounted throughout the room where the Sentry-RMS is installed. These
instructions will teach the user how to install 2 cameras, labeled cameras 3 and 4. This manual will also instruct the user how
to remove a camera from the chassis of the Sentry-RMS (as needed), and replace the camera with a water-tight gasket.
4.4.1.2 The mounting bracket and the base of the camera are threaded into each other (see previous Figure 10). Twist them in
opposite directions to unscrew the mounting bracket from the base. Take caution not to let the camera or camera enclosure
fall.
4.4.1.3 Mark the location of the placement of the camera mounting-bracket holes.
4.4.1.4 Drill holes and place wall anchors as required to support the weight of the camera, base, and required Ethernet cable.
4.4.1.5 Line up the holes of the mounting bracket with the holes in the wall.
NOTE: The camera cable must be placed under the mounting bracket prior to screwing the bracket in place. Be certain that
the cord is threaded through one of the cut-away sections on the bottom of the mounting bracket to keep the

7.1.5 Monitoring Stations tab
7.1.5.1 This tab allows the user to associate the Sentry-RMS with monitoring stations (input the Display Names of monitoring
stations, set the station type, and generate Security Tokens).
7.1.5.2 Each Sentry-RMS device supports up to six monitoring stations. The Monitoring Stations are enabled in the SCT by checking
the Enable box for each applicable location. The Station type (Security or Observation) should be selected from the radio
buttons (see Figure 54). NOTE: The names of the monitoring stations must be identical in the OICT and the Sentry-RMS to
establish secure communications.
7.1.5.3 Security Roles allow specific personnel (Security Monitors) to acknowledge alarms and alerts.
7.1.5.4 Observation Roles will prohibit specific personnel (Observation Monitors) from acknowledging alarms or alerts. They will
only be able to view events, video, and reports.

Figure 54 - Naming monitoring stations and generating Security Tokens
7.1.5.5 During every OIS Configuration that is set up during the OICT setup process, the user will set up a Display Name, and a
Security Token can be generated. In order to choose a Display Name, on the Monitor Stations tab, the user types a name into
one of the Monitoring Station boxes, in the “Display Name” box.
7.1.5.6 To generate a Security Token, click the Generate button and the text field will populate with a new token. In order to remove
the token and prevent it from being used anymore, click the Delete button. After the token is deleted, the user will need to
generate a new token for the monitoring station to connect once again.

Page 76 of 110
2016-06-30
NOTE: To simplify configuration, the PKCS12 file uses a shared password kept in the OICT code. This should be fine as
long as the administrator transfers this file securely (copy and paste via clipboard or encrypted in an email, not pasted to a
text file or distributed through email without taking additional steps to protect them). When pasting using the clipboard, the
OICT will clear the clipboard automatically after the paste. This is the only time the Tokens have this vulnerability because
once they are consumed by the OICT and distributed in OIS configuration files, they are protected by the OIS configuration
file encryption.
7.1.5.7 This step of setting up the Monitoring Stations should be completed for every Monitoring Station configuration applicable to
the Sentry-RMS (see Figure 55).

7.1.5.8 The bottom left box on this tab is labeled General Monitoring Station Parameters. In this box, the user can decide how many
monitoring station responses are required to “close” an alarm or an alert (see Figure 56).
7.1.5.9 NOTE: When an alarm or an alert is triggered, all configured and associated Monitoring Stations will get a notification.
However, during the configuration of the SCT, the user can decide how many people must respond to the event. At SCT
setup, the user must require at least one Security Monitoring Station to close an alarm or alert.
In the bottom left box, there is also a place to decide the maximum number of minutes that will be allowed to pass before the
correct number of monitoring stations acknowledge an event. By setting this parameter, if the event is not acknowledged
correctly, the alarm/alert will be sent again to all monitoring stations (see also Figure 56).

The Networking Tab allows the user to insert the Primary and Secondary Ethernet port configurations; set the name of the
Sentry-RMS; set State of Health periods; set mail server information (for email and text notifications); configure the system
passwords and set up the SCT authentication method in the future.
7.1.6.1 The Primary and Secondary Ethernet Port information will be entered here. This information must match the information that
is used in the OICT configuration for this Sentry-RMS. Each Sentry-RMS is designed to support two parallel,
simultaneously-active interfaces to support a primary and backup communication network between the Sentry-RMS and the
monitoring stations.
7.1.6.2 The Primary and Secondary IP addresses must be either static or fixed and given by a DHCP server based on MAC address.
The MAC addresses for these ports are listed on the sticker on the box. Communication between the Sentry-RMS and the
operator monitoring software will not function properly with a changing dynamic IP address from a DHCP server.
7.1.6.3 The Primary and Secondary IP addresses must be on separate subnets (see Figure 57).
