Sentry Configuration & Monitoring
CHAPTER 7: SENTRY CONFIGURATION & MONITORING
7.1 Sentry Software Introduction
SureCall’s Sentry is a revolutionary advancement in signal-booster management. It aids in the installation, optimization,
and ongoing management of your Guardian2 QR BDA. It provides installers with tools for seamless system
configurations, and it helps pinpoint malfunctions due to unforeseen changes in the amplifier landscape, such as new
towers or repeater systems. Sentry also notifies installers or end users about various parameters via email. Features
include:
• Quick notification about booster changes and over-power situations.
• Allows offsite monitoring and adjustments related to booster performance, such as uplink, downlink or bands
.
• Helps optimize installations by monitoring and identifying the strongest signal strength available.
