Creating a text-message notification

exacqVision systems can also send automated text-message notifications.

To create a text-message notification, complete the following steps:
  1. Create a list of all the phone numbers and their service providers that you want to notify.
  2. Obtain the service provider’s email-to-text service gateway address. This address can be found on the service provider’s public website.
  3. Test the existing email server connection by, creating an email server and notification profile for your email address, and then configuring an event link to send a notification when an event occurs. For information on how to create an email server and message profile, see Notifications window. For information on how to configure an event link, see Event Linking window.
  4. Add a new profile in the Notifications window. For more information on how to add a new profile, see Creating an email.
    Note: In the Recipients field, enter the recipient’s phone-numbers using the following format: phonenumber@vnet.net. Some service providers do not display the subject line of the message, but you still must enter at least one character in the subject field.
  5. In the Event Linking window, configure one or more events for the new text-message profile. For more information on how to configure an event, see Event Linking window.
