• Pop-up: A pop-up notification can appear on your desktop
indicating a description of the condition, and an alarm mes-
sage. If pop-ups are blocked in your browser, an error message
appears, prompting you to enable pop-ups for viewLinc.
• Email
or SMS: An Email or SMS notification can be sent
once or repeatedly, based on how the alarm properties are set,
and according to a User's work schedule. If configured, an
Email can automatically be sent to an Email address, or mul-
tiple
Email addresses. If issuing an SMS notification, a text
message is sent to a mobile Device.
• Command: An application can be launched or an external
Device turned on. If configured, an external Device (such as a
light or buzzer) or a computer application (such as batch file
which can page or phone a particular number) can be
triggered when an alarm condition occurs.
Alarms should be dealt with as soon as possible by acknowledging
them in viewLinc, on a remote display, or with a reply to an Email
or SMS notification. If configured to require acknowledgement, an
alarm notification will persist unless acknowledged.
IMPORTANT: Alarm notification is sent only for Devices with
Channels currently linked to active Locations.
Do Alarms Require Acknowledgement?
Alarms can be configured so they do not require acknowledgement.
