2. Check status: Green = normal, Yellow = warning, Red = alarm.
3. Review history: Access data logs to view historical trends.
4. Configure alerts: Set thresholds that trigger notifications.
5. Alert types: Email, SMS, audible alarm, relay activation.
6. Alert escalation: Configure multiple recipients and retry intervals.
7. Acknowledge alarms: Log in to acknowledge and reset alarm conditions.
8. Generate reports: Export data for analysis or compliance reporting.

WARNING! Test alarm notifications after installation. Ensure contact information is current.

Network Configuration

Configure network settings for remote access and notifications.

1. IP Configuration: Static IP or DHCP assignment.
2. DNS Settings: Configure for internet access and email alerts.
3. Port Settings: Default HTTP port 80, HTTPS port 443.
4. SNMP Configuration: Community strings, trap destinations.
5. Time Synchronization: NTP server for accurate timestamps.
6. Security: HTTPS encryption, user authentication, IP filtering.

Note: Consult network administrator for proper network settings in your environment.
