Notification Devices
RENO can transmit messages to various notification
devic es, including numeric pagers, alphanumeric
pagers, e-mail accounts, and phones (mobile or
landline) using e-mail, SMS or voice using text-to-
speech technology. In addition, a variety of devices
can be associated with each contact.
Notification Device Scheduling
Each contact may have several devices available for
remote notification, such as pagers, e-mail, and
phones. Each of these devices may be assigned
different availability schedules for notification,
matching an operator’s availability schedule. This
allows contacts to be extremely mobile, by notifying
the selected devices during set hours of the day.
Figure 2. Define a schedule for each device.
Group Notification
For ease of setup and notification, a collection of
devic es can be combined into a group. RENO will then
notify all members within a group of selected
notification messages.
Escalation Lists
Devices and groups can be combined as stages in an
escalation list. With an escalation list, a notification
message is sent to each stage one at a time, after a
user-defined delay for each stage. RENO escalates to
notify subsequent stages in the list if the current stage
does not respond within the defined delay. Escalation
can be stopped by a manual operator command, upon
acknowledgement of the alarm, upon the point
returning to normal, or through an optional call-in
feature to stop escalation.
Figure 3. Escalation Properties.
Heartbeat
The Heartbeat feature periodically notifies a selectable
contact or group that RENO is functioning properly.

Paging Service Providers
RENO allows operators to define local TAP-compliant
alphanumeric paging and SMS service providers
(Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol).

Optimization
Configure devices to combine alarm and system event
messages, minimizing notifications received by
devic es.
