Configuring the Digi Connect Devices
Note that this process does not configure the Digi Connect device. Settings are
not saved. If the module reboots, you will have to perform steps 2 and 3 again.
Configure Alarms
Use the Alarms page to configure device alarms or display current alarms settings. Device
alarms are used to send email messages or SNMP traps when certain device events occur.
These events include changes in GPIO signals and certain data patterns being detected in
the data stream.
Configure Alarm Notification Settings
On the Alarms page, the Alarm Notification Settings control the following:
The “Enable alarm notifications” checkbox enables or disables all alarm
processing for the Digi Connect device.
The Mail Server Address (SMTP) field specifies the IP address of your SMTP
mail server. Ask your network administrator for this IP address.
The From field specifies the text that will be used in the “From:” field for all
alarms that are sent as emails.
Configure Alarm Conditions
The Alarm Conditions part of the Alarms page shows a list of all of the alarms. Up to 32
alarms can be configured for a Digi Connect device, and they can be enabled and disabled
individually.
Alarm List
The list of alarms displays the current status of each alarm. If there are any alarms already
configured for the device, and after you have configured any new alarms, you can use this
list to view alarm status at a glance, then view more details for each alarm as needed.
Enable: Checkbox indicates whether the alarm is currently enabled or disabled.
Alarm: The number of the alarm.
Status: The current status of the alarm, which is either enabled or disabled.
Type: Specifies whether the alarm is based on GPIO pin state changes or serial
data pattern matching.
Trigger: The conditions that trigger the alarm.
