You can configure email and text alarms using alarm notifications. Click the Alarm Notifications from the Settings tab to set the parameters. First, you must connect the SBH to an Ethernet network and define the DNS servers. See the Ethernet section of this document to set up the Ethernet connection for the SBH. The following table describes each alarm notification parameter. Refer to the following video link https://docs.jci.com/bas/verasys-setup-users-alerts.
