Manual E-mail/Paging
Manual e-mail/paging consists of right-clicking on an alarm in Alarm Monitoring
and sending a message via the “Send E-Mail” or “Send Page” menu option. The
process that occurs for the message to be sent is as follows:
1. An alarm is displayed on the Alarm Monitoring screen.
2. The alarm is right-clicked on, and the “Send E-Mail” or “Send Page” menu
option is selected.
3. One or more recipients must be selected.
4. That message is sent to the LS Global Output Server service, which then
sends it to a temporary directory.
The temporary directory is specified in the following places:

• For B.A.S.I.S., in the Spooler Directory field on the Paging Devices
