No matter which compression format you choose for e-mail audio files, PDM always keeps its internally
stored files as full-resolution, uncompressed .WAV.
PD-Alert (text) e-mails
: Use this field to enter e-mail addresses for people who
should get text-only PD-Alerts; these are simple text notifications when a Dump
occurs. They’re designed for users who don’t want to worry about large audio
files sent to their Smartphone or PDA. These users can manually retrieve log files
from PDM if they need them.
•
If you want to enter more than one “text-only” recipient, separate each ad-
dress with a space.
Retain dump files
: PDM purges old audio files to make room for new files when
space is needed in its internal storage. There’s a
lot
of storage, so dump files can
hang around for a long time. If your station’s policy is to delete air-checks on a
regular schedule, use this setting to choose
30
,
60
, or
90 days
. PDM will auto-
matically delete dump files as they reach that age.
Test PD-Alerts
: After you’ve entered e-mail addresses, use this feature to verify
that PDM is set up properly. A test message will be sent to the addresses in both
PD-Alert e-mails
fields.
•
If one of the e-mail addresses is invalid
1
, your ISP will relay an error message.
You can check for these messages by logging into the mail account you set up
for PDM, from any normal e-mail program.
The
Save
button changes PDM’s internal settings to match whatever you’ve entered on
this page.
Revert
cancels your recent entries, replacing them with whatever had been
previously set in PDM.
If someone enters changes at PDM’s front panel while the GUI is open, they won’t be
reflected on your computer until you use your browser’s Refresh feature. We suggest
never trying to make configuration changes on both the GUI and PDM’s front panel at
the same time; doing so can give unexpected results.
Note that unless the unit is in
BYPASS
mode, PD-Alerts are generated whenever the
Dump button is pressed. This happens even if PDM’s delay is currently at zero… but in
that case, the dump file will contain just the
PD-Alert context
audio specified on this
page, from before and after when
DUMP
was pressed.

tab, and the GUI will display the PD-Alerts e-mail log shown
below.
The log lists PDM’s recent attempts to send PD-Alert e-mails. If a message has been
successfully sent, it displays each recipient’s address, the type of PD-Alert sent, and the

This sometimes happens because of a typing error, or if an address is obsolete.
