12.4.3 Setting the Alarm Messaging Information
Emails may be used to report critical alarms. The email messages sent to the specified recipients are
the same for all recipients. The decision about who gets the message is made in the user profile. This
screen allows the information to be sent in email form to be selected.
The left side of the screen sets up email facilities and right side is used to select the alarms.

Sender
A name used to identify this Pakscan system (messages will be titled by this name to
indicate which system it is).
Reply Path
The address to send e-mail reply messages to for this system. Typically this might be
a manager. Engineers responding to an alarm can send a message indicating it has
been attended to.
SMTP
Server
The LAN system administrator will supply the name of the e-mail server to be used by
devices on the network.
A tick in the box on the right hand side indicates that a message will be sent if the selected event
occurs. If the status of the alarm goes to a ‘1’ the message is created. If messages cannot be sent
they will be queued until a connection is available. All messages are date and time stamped using the
master station clock as the reference.
