Remote Notification

checkbox allows the user to enable or disable authentication by checking or unchecking the box.

The Username field displays the user name used for authentication by the SMTP server. The user can edit this field if SMTP is enabled at the field panel and if authentication is enabled.

The Password field displays the password used for authentication by the SMTP server. This information is displayed in unreadable characters (*******). The user can edit this field if SMTP is enabled at the field panel and if authentication is enabled.

If you do not save modifications to the SMTP Configuration Editor, and close the editor, all modifications will be discarded. Be sure to save any changes using the Save button.

Saving the SMTP Configuration information to the panel requires a coldstart of the field panel. A message will display, allowing you to choose whether to continue with a coldstart (requiring re-authorization), or to discard the changes to the configuration information.

Creating a Heartbeat Message

The “heartbeat” functionality can be used to send periodic e-mails to remote recipients in order to let them know that remote notification is functioning correctly.

1.Create a Notification Class object with one or more Remote Destination(s).

2.Create an alarmable point named, for example, Email_Test. Make sure this point uses the notification Class created in the first step.

3.Supply a description which lets the Remote Recipient know that the e-mail they are receiving is not an alarm, but a verification that remote notification e-mail is functioning correctly, for example: “Your Remote Notification is currently online and functioning properly.”

4.Create a Schedule object to trigger this point into and out of alarm at a specific time and interval. Choose an interval (for example: daily) that meets the needs of the heartbeat notification. See the Schedule/Command/Calendar section for more information.

The Remote Addresses chosen in the Remote Destinations table will receive a periodic e-mail notification to verify that the remote notification e-mail system is still functioning.
