and on e-mail alarm messages. The Unit Name will appear on SMS text messages. Use these fields to
help identify the facility and/or location so that when alarms happen you’ll know exactly where the
trouble occurred.
This screen also provides an entry for a Time Server using the Time Protocol (TP) format on port 37.
This is used to periodically synchronize the system clock to keep it accurate. It is recommended that you
keep this set to the default setting (i.e. time.sensaphone.com).
The Escalation Delay provides the ability to delay alarm delivery to selected users that may only be
interested in receiving alarms if they persist for a particular length of time. Each user can have a pro-
grammable Escalation Priority from 1 to 8. When an alarm occurs the WSG30 will deliver alarm
messages to all users at priority level 1. Then it will wait the duration of the Escalation Delay and send
messages to priority level 2, as long as the alarm still exists, and so on with priority 3, 4, 5,…. Once the
alarm no longer exists, those users who have higher escalation levels will not be contacted.
The System Date and Time can be configured by clicking the Change System Time box. Enter the
current date and time, then click Save.
smtp
The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) section is where you must configure your e-mail server
settings. To have the unit send e-mail or SMS Text messages, you need to set the SMTP Server name
and the Return e-mail Address. If your SMTP server requires authentication then check the Security
Enabled box and fill-in the Username and Password (if required). The WSG30 also allows you to change
the SMTP port number in the event that your internet service provider is using a nonstandard port. Port
25 is the standard port number, but 587 is also becoming more common as well. Note that the WSG30
will not work with SMTP servers that require TLS or SSL encryption. As a result, it will not work with
web-based e-mail providers such Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo!Mail, or AOL. If you do not have a compatible
SMTP server available to you, then contact Sensaphone Technical support for other options.

snmp
The WSG30 contains an SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) feature that allows the device
to be accessed from third party network management software. The unit supports versions v1 and
v2c of the protocol, over both UDP and TCP transports. Read and write access to most of the WSG30
