Creating a location description
The Set Location command specifies text that appears in the HTML control screen’s Location field.
The text is also appended to a Welcome to banner that appears when a user successfully logs in serially
or through a Telnet session.
If you do not issue this command, or if you issue this command without specifying any text, the control
screen ’s Location field will be blank and no Welcome to banner will be displayed.
To create a location description:
At the Sentry: prompt, type set location, followed by a descriptive name of up to 24 alphanumeric and
other typeable characters (ASCII 32 to 126 decimal - spaces are allowed). Press Enter.
Omitting any characters after typing ‘set location’ deletes any previously specified text.
Examples
The following command specifies Florida HQ as the descriptive location for the control screen and the
login banner:
Sentry: set location Florida HQ<Enter>
The following command deletes any previously-specified location description:
Sentry: set location<Enter>
In this case, the control screen’s Location field will be blank, and no welcome banner will be displayed
after a successful login.
