6 Notifications
The primary purpose of the MesCom is to notify one or more users of a change of state. The
format of the notifications can be configured on a per user basis. The type of events that
generate a notification can also be configured. See section 7.5.4 for more details.

6.2 Event Types
A point can be configured independently to generate 3 different types of event.
Alarm
The value is moving away from normal, high to low or counter threshold crossed.
Restore
The value is moving toward normal, low to high, or a counter has overflowed.
Routine
A periodic reading of the value, useful for data logging and fault finding.
System
An internal event generated by MesCom, independent of input and output status.
Alarm and Restore are controlled by the POINT ALARM parameter.
Routine are controlled by the OPTION LOGINT, POINT LOG and NLOG parameter.
System events are controlled by the OPTION SYSTEM and
