Note: Access to features in the Administrator application, including those described in the following, may
require administrator rights.
Once you have added a generic event (see
How to Add a Generic Event
), a quick and easy way to test your
generic event is to first set up an event notification and then use Telnet to send a small amount of data
which will trigger the generic event and in turn the event notification.
What is Telnet?
Telnet is a terminal emulation program used on TCP/IP networks. With Telnet, you can
connect to a server from a computer on the network, and execute commands through Telnet as if you
were entering them directly on the server. Windows includes a client for use with Telnet.
For this example, we have created a generic event called Video. Our generic event simply specifies that if
the term video appears in a received TCP data package, the generic event should be triggered. Your
generic event may be different, but you can still use the principles outlined in the following:
1.
In the
Administrator window
, first select a camera from which you are able to view images in a
NetGuard/NetGuard-EVS
, then click the Settings button.
This will open the
Camera Settings for [Device Name] [Camera Name] window
.
2.
In the Camera Settings for [Device Name] [Camera Name] window, click the Event
Notifications... button:
This will open the
Setup Notifications on Events window
.
