d. You can optionally select a Variable Substitution to be placed in the subject or body of the

e-mail message and then click Insert. The variable substitution provides specific data
pertaining to the alarm notification event such as the value of the data point that triggered the
alarm. The on-line help includes a detailed list and descriptions of the variable substitutions
you can use.

e. Click OK to return to the Alarm Notifier: Destination Web page.

5. For each destination, configure the data point update to be sent when active and passive alarm

conditions occur. To do this, follow these steps:

a. Click the Output column and then click a data point in the SmartServer tree to be updated

when the destination is used. To update a data point of an external device that is being
managed with OpenLNS CT, OpenLNS tree, or another OpenLNS application, you must first
copy the data point from the OpenLNS tree to the SmartServer tree (see Adding Data Points
to SmartServer Applications
in Chapter 4, Using the Web Interface, for more information on
adding data points to a SmartServer application).

b. Click the Value column and then enter the value to which the selected data point is updated or

select a preset (if one or more are defined for the data point). When an alarm condition is
received, the data point is set to the active alarm value. When the alarm is cleared, the data
point is set to the passive value. The selected data point will be updated when the e-mail for
the destination has been sent (or as soon as the alarm occurs if no e-mail profile has been
specified). To update a data point without having to wait for the e-mail notification to be sent,
enter the e-mail message and data point update in separate destinations.

6. Select the Show Advanced check box to configure the following advanced properties:

Enable

Select a SNVT_switch data point from the SmartServer tree to be used to
enable and disable the destination. After you select a data point, the
destination is used when the data point is set to the ON value, and it is not
used when the data point is set to the OFF value.
