addVANTAGE Pro 6.2 User Guide CHAPTER 3
Node Properties
When you select this action, you must enter the appropriate Phone
numbers and, optionally, select the Soundfile you want to be played.
E-mail sends an email to the Recipients you specify in the field below.
In specifying recipients, you can enter full e-mail addresses in the
format name@address.extension. For recipients who are also system
users, you can enter a shortcut in the format user{name}, such as
user{root}. For multiple recipients, the order does not matter but you
must separate each with a semicolon:
user{dimi};m.weller@adcon.com;user{root}
Note: In order to successfully send e-mails from addVANTAGE Pro, the
e-mail service must be properly configured.
Switch On switches on an output port of an RTU.
Switch On/Off switches on an output port of an RTU and instructs it to
switch it off automatically after a predefined time elapses.
Switch Off switches off an output port of an RTU.
If you defined the rule to issue a command (Switch On, Switch Off or
Switch On/Off), you must enter the Node ID of the tag to be acted
upon. In the case of Switch On/Off, you must also specify how long the
switch should be on (Open time)
4. Enter the day (d), hour (h), and minute (m) of the Max. age of event. In
other words, if you enter 6 hours and 30 minutes, the action will not occur
for the selected event if it happened more than six and a half hours ago.
This field is helpful because you would likely find an event that happened
two years ago uninteresting and you certainly wouldn’t want a SIP call
made because of it.
5. Click OK to close the Add Action dialog.
6. When you’re finished with the Properties dialog, click OK to close it.
The next time the event you specified occurs in the node, the action you
specified will happen.
You can Edit or Remove only those actions you created.
Node Security Properties
Use the Security tab (Figure 14) to set permissions for the node.
All of these settings show default values for the node. Our example of a tag’s
security settings shows that the owner is dimi and the tag belongs to the admin
group. You will rarely need to change these settings, but you might want to
assign different Privileges. Whether you can assign different privileges is
determined by your account permissions.
Read and Write determine whether the node can be viewed (read) or edited
(write). Therefore, you can use this dialog to determine the permissions the
Owner of the node, the Group the node belongs to, and Everyone else has. You
