Observer General Options–Notifications Tab
The Notifications tab lets you set up the page and email services that Observer uses to
contact the administrator when the criteria set in Triggers and Alarms have been met (see
“Triggers and Alarms Mode” on page 148).
Paging Server Settings
Observer’s paging interface is a complete messaging system for sending alarms to pagers
and cell phones using a modem or Internet connection to a pager service carrier. It
includes a Windows tray icon that provides instant access to Observer’s built-in paging
server.
Configuring a pager service requires you to have some information about the pager
service. When a modem is used, you will need to know about the modem installed or
connected to the Observer PC.
