7.0 Alerts
When attached to the 920i indicator, diagnostic error messages generated by the iQUBE are shown on the
indicator display. The 920i alert support also allows messages to be printed or, if the 920i is equipped with an
Ethernet card attached to a network, routed via e-mail to an alert contact.
7.1 Network Alert Notification
Figure 7-1 shows an example of a system configured to relay iQUBE alert messages through e-mail. The 920i
indicator is equipped with an Ethernet card. The 920i and Ethernet card configurations must include the
following:
• In the Ethernet card configuration, Connect Mode Settings , the Startup value must be set to Manual Connection
(C4) . This allows the 920i to set the address of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server used by the
Ethernet card.
• Set the Inactivity Timeout to ENABLE
• Set the Inactivity Timer to 0:15
• The SMTP server address must be set in the 920i . This value can be set in iRev or by using the
ALERT.SERV serial command. The SMTP server address cannot be set using the 920i menus.
To disable alert notification, set the SMTP server address to 0.0.0.0.
• The alert contact e-mail address must be set to a valid address. This value can be set using the 920i menus
(FEATURE menu, CONTACT submenu, EMAIL parameter), through iRev , or by using the
CONTACT.EMAIL serial command.
• The 920i alert port must be set to the port used by the Ethernet card. This value can be set in iRev or by
using the ALERT.PORT serial command.
The body of the e-mail message sent to the alert contact consists of the alert format configured in the 920i (see
Section 7.2 on page 39).
Figure 7-1. iQUBE Alert Notification Process
NOTE : After the SMTP address has been set to other than 0.0.0.0 (in the 920i ) normal uploading/downloading
with iRev (in TCP/IP mode) is not allowed and Telnet will not operate in bi-directional fashion.
