You must first program the NOVIA 272 to send mail under
the
Setup/Email Preferences
menu. You need to set up an ac-
tual SMTP email account, following guidelines set by the
mail provider you choose.
NOTE:
As of initial product release, some email servers may
not support SMTP mail dispatch from the NOVIA 272. This
situation is in a state of flux at present. The TLS1.2 stand-
ard is supported, STARTTLS is not. A simple and free Gmail
account would be a good choice if your in-house mail sys-
tem fails to send mail due to this issue.
Under
SMTP Server
, enter the provided outgoing mail
SMTP
Server
info (e.g.
smtp.gmail.com
), the specified
Port:
number
and whether or not to
Use SSL
.
Under
Sender
,
From:
is the ‘friendly’ name that will identify
the NOVIA 272 to the email or SMS/text recipient.
User:
is
the full email address of the unit, and
Pass:
is the password
you’ve assigned to the account.
Next enter email recipients separately under the
Setup/Email
Preferences/Recipients
menu. Use
Recipients
/
Select:
fields
1.
through
10.
, entering up to ten separate email addresses.
Then from the Main Menu open
Alarms & Notifications
/
Notifications
. In the top box you can pull-up any recipient
from the list you’ve created, and select which alarm or
alarms sends an email alert to that person. From that same
list you may also send that same person a complete log of
all alarms. Scroll down and check your preference of a
Dail
y,
Weekly
or
Monthly Alarm Log
.

Use the
Send Test Email
utility to ensure that the NOVIA 272
is set up to send mail properly to all recipients.
The Alarm Log
Under
Setup/Alarm Log Settings
you’ll find a
Status:
notation of
how close the log is to its maximum capacity, about 2000
events. Enter the
Email When:
box and set a number for an
alert. A setting of 10% equates to about 200 log entries.
The Alarm Log continues to accumulate entries, but you
may manually clear it at any time. Under
Alarm Log Settings
,
go to
Clear Log
at the bottom of the screen. Bracket and se-
lect the box, and when prompted push the knob again to
delete all alarm history. The NOVIA 272 Web interface pro-
vides means of downloading the alarm log for study and
analysis if desired.
Backup: The Hardware Profile
The entire NOVIA 272 setup, which includes input source
choices, levels, factory and user processing presets, alarm
notification preferences and SNMP options… all may be
saved to your computer as a small text file. A Hardware
Profile is useful for restoring a previous processor setup or
for ‘cloning’ a second unit for backup service.
On the
Admin
Webpage, click:
Download Hardware Profile
to
save the profile to your system.
Your browser and version of Windows may ask whether to
Open
or
Save
the file. Click the
Save
button and the file will
be saved to a Downloads folder, and from there may be
moved to a convenient location. Other browsers may ask
you directly to specify a ‘Save as:’ location. The file carries
a default name of
272settings.ini
.
Upload a Hardware Profile backup file to the NOVIA 272 by
clicking
Select Hardware Profile…
. Navigate to the folder
where you saved the file and double-click it. The filename,
File: 272settings.ini
, should replace
Select Hardware Profile…
on your screen. At that point, simply click
Upload Hardware
Profile
.
NOTE:
Uploading a Hardware Profile reboots the NOVIA
272. After the reboot, an information screen pops up to
remind you of important operating procedures and to guide
you through any rough spots that might have surfaced dur-
