Example: SSI use in notification e-mails
One simple way to use host SSI commands is to customize e-mail messages that the
IPL 250 sends in response to a monitored condition or event. In the example shown
below, the disconnection e-mail uses SSIs to insert the unit name, IP address, and
time into an e-mail that is sent when the IPL 250 detects that a device attached to it
has been disconnected or when a switch connected to a contact input port closes or
opens. For more information on commands, see the Command/response table for
SIS commands in chapter 4.
How these commands are typed into the Global Configurator Email Manager:
WCN | is the
SIS command
to read the IPL’s
unit name.
WCI
|
is the SIS
command to
read the IPL’s IP
address.
WCT
|
is the
SIS command
to read the date
and time.
