Chapter 1: Introduction

Email and text communication

For VM-1 systems using VM-CU version 1.30 or later, events can be transmitted
through any VM-1 control panel with an installed Ethernet card to external
devices such as computers and smartphones. Communication occurs over
Ethernet using IP services such as email and text messaging through email.
During system configuration, your service provider may have added your email
address or smartphone number to a distribution list for notification of system
events. Figure 12 below and Figure 13 on page 19 are examples of email and
text messages that can be generated. If you receive a message, take the action
shown in the message or as instructed by the local authority.
