Alarms
The Alarms page is for configuring device alarms and displaying alarm settings. Device alarms
are used to send email messages or SNMP traps when certain device events occur. These events
include changes in GPIO signals, certain data patterns being detected in the data stream
Alarm notification settings
On the Alarms page, the Alarm Notification Settings control the following:
 Enable alarm notifications: Enables or disables all alarm processing for the Digi
Connect device.
 Send all alarms to the Remote Management server: enables or disables sending of
alarm notifications to a server that handles remote management of devices, such as the
iDigi Platform.
Enabling this setting sends all alarm notifications to a remote management server.
Enable this option if the Digi device is managed by a remote management server, such
as the iDigi Platform. Enabling this option is useful because it allows all alarms to be
monitored from one location. Enabling this option also allows Digi devices to send
alarms to clients that would otherwise be unreachable from the Digi device, either
because the Digi device is behind a firewall or not on the same network as the alarm
destination.
Disabling this settings disables sending of alarm notifications to a remote management
server. Disable this option if devices are not managed by a remote management server or
if alarms should be sent from the device, for example, because an SNMP trap
destination is local to the device, not the iDigi Platform server.
 Mail Server Address (SMTP): Specifies the IP address of the SMTP mail server. Ask
your network administrator for this IP address.
 From: Specifies the text that will be used in the “From:” field for all alarms that are sent
as emails.
