4.4 Setting Up Alert Notifications
The 831C can be set up to send email and text alerts for a variety of
system events, as well as measurement and sound events by using the
System Properties email preferences. When an event (setting change,
exceedance trigger, sound event, etc) occurs and the meter has an
active network connection, the meter sends the alert notification after
the event has concluded.
To set up alert notifications for system-, event-, and measurement
history-triggered events, follow these steps:

secure email.

• To avoid spam filters, add the host email addresses to your
contact list.
• When the meter is configured with a static IP address, you will
need to configure your network settings as shown in
