receive event notifications, you must supply a valid link in the Host Notification Link field on the Event
Notifications page, and then click Set Host Link.

If the SNMP host is not set (or is not valid), no Network Status Events will be sent. If you want to receive
Network Status Event notifications, you must subscribe to them by setting the SNMP configuration on
the Event Notifications page.

2. Click the Notifications link on the left-hand side of any page. The Event Notifications page displays.

letting you know that the Reader is up and running. The system could detect it has gone offline (i.e.,
lost power) if it doesn’t see a heartbeat within two minutes.
