Connecting the UCM via USB
1. Open the enclosure cover and connect the UCM computer to the gateway via USB (T3).
2. Start the UCM software (the UCM Connect dialog displays see
2. Start the UCM software (the UCM Connect dialog displays see
).
3. Specify the connection details:
(e.g., Network Type: = Silver Network; Device Type = Senstar LM100; Address = 1 {default
address}; select USB radio button; USB Device = gateway)
address}; select USB radio button; USB Device = gateway)
4. Select Connect to establish a connection to the Senstar LM100.
The Senstar LM100 Status window opens.
Setting the gateway’s Silver Network address
1. In the Program field select the Address button.
The change Device Address dialog displays.
2. In the Change Device Address dialog, specify the New Address for the connected Senstar
LM100 gateway.
3. Select the Program button.
The new address takes effect when communications are reestablished.
Silver Network configuration
For Senstar LM100 gateways that use Silver Network alarm data communications, you must
define the network Protocol under the Network Cfig tab. There are two selectable Protocols based
on the network configuration:
define the network Protocol under the Network Cfig tab. There are two selectable Protocols based
on the network configuration:
•
The Silver Star Protocol uses an IP backbone and an Ethernet connection to the gateway. This
configuration is often used when the sensor network is distributed over a large area and
consists of isolated blocks of sensors with only a few nodes in each block. A PoE switch can
be used for communications and to power the gateway and luminaire AP.

The Silver Loop Protocol uses a ring topology and sends data in both directions around a
perimeter to provide communication redundancy. The Silver Loop Protocol can use RS-422
wiring or fiber optic cable to connect the distributed sensors to the Silver Network Manager.

1. Specify the network Protocol - Silver (Loop) or Silver (Star).
2. For the Silver Star configuration, specify the IP address, the subnet mask, the IP address of

the switch (gateway) and the Speed and Duplex setting.
3. Save and download the configuration changes to the gateway.
Sequencing the heads
The process of sequencing the heads is used to identify each luminaire by its installation location
rather than its 5-digit network Id. Once the locations of the luminaires are known, they can be put
into a logical order. The sequenced heads are then organized into segments and zones.

Note
Senstar LM100 gateways that are on a Silver Network require a unique
network address (valid range from 1 to 60). Gateways that are not on a
Silver Network can use the default address of 1.
