Chapter 6: Using the Web Interface252 Information of each managed sensor and actuator, including:- Name- Position- Reading (for numeric sensors)- StateTo view both managed and unmanaged ones:Click Peripheral Devices in the left pane.Detailed information for each connected sensor or actuator isdisplayed, including: ID number Name Position Serial number Type Channel (for a sensor package with contact closure or drycontact channels) Whether the sensor is an 'Actuator' or not (if yes, this iconappears in the Actuator column) Reading StateStates of Managed SensorsAn environmental sensor shows the state after being managed.Available sensor states vary depending on the sensor type -- numeric ordiscrete sensors. For example, a contact closure sensor is a discrete(on/off) sensor so it switches between three states only -- unavailable,alarmed and normal.Note: Numeric sensors show both numeric readings and sensor states toindicate environmental or internal conditions while discrete (on/off)sensors show sensor states only to indicate state changes.Sensor state Applicable tounavailable All sensorsalarmed Discrete sensorsnormal All sensorsbelow lower critical Numeric sensors
