Creating an Event Rule
The best way to create a new set of event rules in sequence is to:

Create actions for responding to one or multiple events

Create rules to determine what actions are taken when these events
occur
Creating Actions
The EMX comes with three built-in actions:

System Event Log Action: This action records the selected event in
the internal log when the event occurs.

System SNMP Notification Action: This action sends SNMP
notifications to one or multiple IP addresses after the selected event
occurs.

System Tamper Alarm: This action causes the EMX to show the
alarm for the DX tamper sensor in the Alarms section of the
Dashboard until a person acknowledges it. By default, this action has
been assigned to the built-in tamper detection event rules. For
information on acknowledging an alarm, see
Alarms List
(on page
105).
Note: No IP addresses are specified in the "System SNMP Notification
Action" by default so you must specify IP addresses before applying this
action to any event rule.
The built-in actions cannot be deleted.
SNMP traps and informs can be created for an action. For information on
traps and informs, see
Configuring SNMP Settings
(on page 122).
To create new actions:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rule Settings
dialog appears.
2. Click the Actions tab.
3. Click New.
4. In the "Action name" field, type a new name for the action. The
default name is New Action <number>, where <number> is a
sequential number starting at 1.
5. In the Action field, click the drop-down arrow and select the desired
action:
