Figure 21. Example Sentinel Profile Information Screen
1. Click the Setup tab, then click Device Profiles in the left frame. To add a new profile, select the device
from the drop down menu below the table then click the Add New Profile button. To configure the
existing profile, click the edit button next to the profile name.
2. Enter the Profile Name. The default name for a new profile is Sentinel, Portal or C-Start.
3. Offline Mode: At sites with multiple devices, one device will run the Sierra Server application and
function as the ‘Master’ unit, the other devices are secondary units. In the event that a secondary
unit loses its connection to the Master, only cash transactions will be possible. The offline mode
setting will determine whether the secondary should remain in operation for cash transactions only
or go out of service. The default setting is to allow cash transactions.
4. Portal and Sentinel Only: The Exact Change Mode setting will cause the device to display an ‘Exact
Change Only’ message when the unit detects that it is unable to dispense change. The default
setting is with the message enabled.
5. If you wish to run debugging logs for the device, select Enable Verbose Logging. This should normally
be disabled and only enable when instructed by Unitec Customer Support personnel.
6. If you wish to enable a help button that links directly to the intercom on the unit, select Enable Help
Button. The Help Button will be displayed in the lower left corner of the sales screen. This will enable
the intercom.
