4. In the Address field, specify the host name or IP address of your surveillance system.
5. In the Port field, specify the port number on which to send events to your surveillance system.
It is prerequisite that the specified port number is the same as the one the surveillance system
uses when listening for generic events.
Tip: The surveillance systems listen for generic events on the port specified as Alert Port in
the surveillance system (default is port 1234). From the surveillance system's Administrator
click the Advanced... button in the I/O Setup window to access the Advanced window to
verify which port number is used.
6. In the Protocol field, specify whether you want to send the events as TCP or UDP data
packages to the surveillance system. The default protocol is UDP since it uses less bandwidth
than TCP. If your network does not support UDP, simply select TCP.
7. To specify the group you can do one of two things.
o In the Events list select one or more events that you want to include in the event group
o In the Match expression field use the expressions (AND, OR and NOT) to match groups
against each other. You can test the results of your filter criteria in the Event string field.
Example: You have three event groups. For the third group, in the the Match expression
field you enter "group1" or "group2". If events listed in group 1 or group 2 appear, group 3
will be triggered and the event you have set up for group 3 will be sent to the server.
8. Click OK to save your settings.
When you have created an event, an event group and a generic event in your surveillance system that
matches the criteria in the transaction event, you can test your transaction event to verify that the
specified action is triggered in your surveillance system.
