Notification Distribution Methods
There are four different ways to distribute a notification to a recipient:
Client
Email
SNMP
Write to File
Client Notification Distribution Method
The client notification distribution method displays the notification as a system tray popup in WorkStation when the configured alarm or variable condition is met.
Email Notification Distribution Method
Notifications distributed by email are sent through the SMTP protocol when the configured alarm or variable condition is met. If the recipient is a user account and the notification is triggered by an alarm, the notification is only displayed if the logged on user is authorized to view the alarm.
SNMP Notification Distribution Method
SNMP alarms are typically used when the alarm receiver does not have access to the EcoStruxure Building Operation software or when a central unit, for example the IT department, wants to collect alarms from different sources in one place.
Write to File Notification Distribution Method
The write to file notification is written to a text file or to an XLSX file when the configured notification condition is met.
