Ports and polling

The General Event Properties window lets you specify network settings to be used in connection with
event handling.

Name

Description

Alert and generic event port

Specify port number to use for handling events. Default port is port
1234.

SMTP event port

Specify port number to use for sending event information from
hardware devices to XProtect Go via SMTP. Default port is port 25.

FTP event port

Port to use for FTP communication with the hardware device.
Default port is port 21.

Polling interval [1/10] second

For a small number of hardware devices, primarily dedicated
input/output devices (see "About dedicated input/output devices" on
page 59), it is necessary for XProtect Go to regularly check the
state of the hardware devices' input ports in order to detect input.
Such state checking at regular intervals is called polling. You can
specify (in tenths of a second) the interval between state checks.
Default value is 10 tenths of a second (that is one second). For
dedicated input/output devices, it is highly recommended that the
polling frequency is set to the lowest possible value (one tenth of a
second between state checks). For information about which
hardware devices require polling, see the release note.
