To be able to use e-mail, you will need access to a mail (SMTP) server

Scream_SMTP_client@your-hostname. Fill in the IP address or
hostname of this server in the SMTP Server box. Enter in the
Recipient box the e-mail address to which you want the mail sent.

The events you can monitor are:

After a re-boot, you should receive Re-Sync and Data Discontinuity

messages as well.

GPS outage.

Data Discontinuities : Any detected gap in a stream, along with the
reason, if known. This includes reboots, clock syncs, and intentional
