CHAPTER 5: CONFIGURING THE BUILT-IN NOTIFICATIONS
OID: The OID for what you wish to monitor. If, for example, you want to poll temperature data from an AlertWerks
Gateway with a Temp sensor on Port 1, then you would use the following OID:
1.3.6.1.4.1.3854.1.2.2.1.16.1.3.0
Where the last digit (0) is Port 1. For Port 2 the last digit would be 1. If you are monitoring some other device, you will
need the relevant OID for what you wish to measure.
FIGURE 5-75. SWITCH SENSOR STYLE SCREEN
Sensor Style: You can choose either Switch or Analog. A Switch sensor would be, for example, a water sensor, on
or off; an Analog sensor would be a Temperature sensor or Humidity sensor, or some other sensor that gives a data
value.
