Which port is used? NetDVMS listens for generic events on the
port specified as Alert Port in the

Event rule
type
Lets you select how particular NetDVMS should be when analyzing
received data packages:
•
Match: In order for the event to occur, the received
package must contain exactly the message specified in the
Event rule string section's Event message include field, and
nothing else.
•
Search: In order for the event to occur, the received
package must contain the message specified in the Event
rule string section's Event message include field, but may
also have more content.
Example: If you have specified that the event message
should contain the terms ”User001” and ”Door053”, the
event will be triggered if the message includes the terms
”User001” and ”Door053” and ”Sunday”.
Event
priority
The same data package may be analyzed for different events. The
ability to assign a priority to each event lets you manage which
event should be triggered if a received package matches the criteria
for several events.
The priority must be specified as a number between 0 (lowest
priority) and 1000 (highest priority).
