  5. Edit the parameters of the notification. See Notification Recipient Screen.

    1. Click the Add button next to Recipient List. The Recipients screen appears.
    2. Click Add. The Notification Recipient screen appears. See Notification Recipient Screen.
    3. Select the type of recipient you want to add by specifying the following options:

      ID: Notify a specific device ID (Instance Number or BACnet ID).
