Setting Up a Sepax on Chronicle

Overview

In this article, we will go through the device-specific instructions for connecting a Sepax to Chronicle through a Chronicle Gateway. Find out how to install a Chronicle Gateway here. We will first create the equipment record, then alter the configuration of the Sepax.

Prerequisites

• An account on Chronicle that can create new equipment records
• An instance of the Chronicle Gateway accessible to the Sepax over its LAN
• The address of the Chronicle Gateway on the network (either via its static IP address or hostname)
• The service password for the Sepax

Creating the Equipment Record

Enter the details on the page, making sure to select "Sepax C-Pro" from the dropdown box for "Device Type".

You should then be presented with a screen as shown below, detailing your newly created Sepax equipment.

Altering the Configuration of the Sepax

This is done in two steps: Setting the Chronicle Gateway address and then altering the settings to send the data to this gateway.

Setting the Chronicle Gateway Address

1. Power on the Sepax Device using the power switch at the back.
2. Wait for the Sepax to finish its initial boot.
3. On the menu, select the “Next” option.
4. On the new menu, select the “Service” option.
5. Enter the service password into the password prompt.
6. On the following screen, there will be a menu item called “SepaxNet Host”, which has a default value of “HECATE”.
7. Press this item, and then enter the address of the Chronicle Gateway.
8. Exit out of the menus using the arrow in the top left of the screen.
