Alarms
The Alarms page is for configuring device alarms and displaying alarm settings. Device alarms
are used to send email messages or SNMP traps when certain device events occur. These events
include changes in GPIO signals, certain data patterns being detected in the data stream
Alarm notification settings
On the Alarms page, the Alarm Notification Settings control the following:
 Enable alarm notifications: Enables or disables all alarm processing for the Digi
Connect device.
 Send all alarms to the Remote Management server: enables or disables sending of
alarm notifications to a server that handles remote management of devices, such as
Device Management.
Enabling this setting sends all alarm notifications to Device Cloud. Enable this option if
the Digi device is managed by a remote management server, such as Device
Management. Enabling this option is useful because it allows all alarms to be monitored
from one location. Enabling this option also allows Digi devices to send alarms to
clients that would otherwise be unreachable from the Digi device, either because the
Digi device is behind a firewall or not on the same network as the alarm destination.
Disabling this settings disables sending of alarm notifications to Device Cloud. Disable
this option if devices are not managed by a Device Cloud server or if alarms should be
sent from the device, for example, because an SNMP trap destination is local to the
device, not Device Cloud.
 Mail Server Address (SMTP): Specifies the IP address of the SMTP mail server. Ask
your network administrator for this IP address.
 From: Specifies the text that will be used in the “From:” field for all alarms that are sent
as emails.
