13.2.1 Alarm Emails
Emails can be sent when any of the 24 configurable alarms occur. The emails are sent using
standard Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP). Up to 4 recipients can be listed as email
recipients and each alarm can be configured to email any of the 4 recipients.
Alarm emails can only be configured at a Local HMI (Kiosked PanelC) and if there are more than
one local HMI, one must be designated as the master, see chapter 4.2 in the System
Administrator Manual, DEH-500 for more details. The Lineup must also be configured to
communicate on a LAN for email notifications to reach a SMTP server, see chapter 6 in the
System Administrator Manual, DEH-500 for more details.
Figure 13-2 Alarms Setup screen
To configure the SMTP server used for e-mail notifications, select the Email Preferences tab on
the Alarms screen. Server information is typically available from an IT Systems Administrator at
the plant location. A test e-mail address feature is provided to assist in testing e-mail
functionality once it is set up.
The Email Preferences tab on the Alarms screen also includes a field for specifying Email
Notification on Control Power Events. Control power events are associated with the
uninterruptible power supplies that power the Entellisys Control Power Network, and may be
used to warn of an extended outage of the Entellisys system.
