Notifications
NOTE: The time-stamp feature for email notifications and the
Alarm Log depends on a network connection to sync with In-
ternet time, along with setting the proper time zone and other
options. This is detailed under the next subheading.
Connected to the Internet, the 541 can send email or SMS/text
notifications of reception and other faults to one or more recip-
ients. Which alarms go to what recipient is a separate setup
routine.
SMTP Setup
The 541 must first be properly programmed to send mail under
SMTP Settings . You need to set up an actual email account, the
elements of which are just like setting up any conventional
email account. Information to be entered here depends on the
provider you choose. When you apply for the account, much of
this information will be assigned to you. Consult your IT pro-
fessional for help setting up email accounts.
Under SMTP Server: , enter the provided outgoing mail server
info (e.g.:
smtp.gmail.com
), the required
Port:
number and wheth-
er TLS: is On or Off .
From:
is the ‘friendly’ name that identifies the 541 to the email
or SMS/text recipient. You could use station call letters or
something like
ModMonAlarm
.
User:
is the full email address
(username) of the email account you’re using for the 541, and
the
Password:
you chose for this account.
Recipients,
(Send To)
Next enter up to ten email recipients, typing-in the full email
address. After this you’ll decide who gets what alert.
Email addresses typically take
the form of the upper example
here. If instead you wish to
send a text message to a recipi-
ent’s cell phone, the entry may
look like the second image. In
this instance the alarm notifi-
cations are being directed to a Verizon subscriber’s phone.
Further information on these naming protocols is available on
the Web, or you can check with the wireless carrier to confirm
the proper addressing style for Internet texting delivery.
When all recipients have been entered, click
Save
. You may also
click Send Test Email , which will message all recipients to con-
firm proper communications setup. The
Status:
field will show
whether the test message has been properly formatted, dis-
patched and accepted by the email provider.
