1. In the Management Application navigation pane, expand Advanced Configurations, then
expand Cameras and Storage Information, right-click a camera to which you have access in
XProtect Smart Client, and select Properties.
2. Select Event Notification and select the required generic event. Make sure that your generic
event is the only event appearing in the Selected Events list while you are performing the
test, otherwise you cannot be sure that it is your generic event which triggers the event
notification. Once you are done testing, you can move any temporarily removed events back to
the Selected Events list.
3. Save your configuration changes by clicking the Save Configuration button in the
Management Application toolbar.
4. Make sure the Recording Server service is running. Also make sure that the camera for which
you just configured the event notification is displayed and that you have camera title bars
enabled in XProtect Smart Client, so you can see the yellow event indicator.
5. In Windows' Start menu, select Run..., and type the following in the Open field:
o If you are performing the test on the Milestone Husky product server itself: telnet
localhost 1234
o If you are performing the test from a remote computer: Substitute localhost with the IP
address of your system's server. Example: If the IP address of the Milestone Husky
product server is 123.123.123.123, type: telnet 123.123.123.123 1234
This opens a Telnet window.
In the above examples, the number 1234 indicates the port on which the Milestone Husky
product server listens for generic events. Port 1234 is the default port for this purpose, but you
can change this by specifying another port number as part of the general event handling
configuration (see "Configure general event handling" on page 114). If you have changed the
alert and generic event port number on your system, type your system's alert and generic
event port number instead of 1234.
6. In the Telnet window, type the terms (event substring) required to trigger your generic event.
In our case, a single term, video, is required:
While you type in the Telnet window, you may experience an echo. This is the server repeating
some or all of the characters it receives. It will not have any impact as long as you are sure
you type the relevant characters.
7. Close the Telnet window . You must close the window, since your input is not sent to the
surveillance system until you close the window.
