Testing

A test email can be sent using the 'Send Test Email' button on the 'Email' tab. If the test email is
not received, check with the mail server administrator in regards to the current SMTP relay settings.
If anonymous SMTP relay messages are blocked, a mail server can usually be configured to allow
anonymous SMTP relay messages from the IP address of the Room Alert Signal Tower unit.

Email-To-SMS

Email alert notifications can be sent via Short Message Service (SMS) to computers, mobile phones,
alphanumeric pagers and PDAs using SMS text messaging in addition to regular email. This
functionality is widely supported by current mobile device service providers and is accomplished by
sending email to an email address, formatted in a way defined by the service provider being used for the
target mobile device.
For example, Verizon's email address format for sending an email alert to a mobile device using
SMS text messaging is '<10 digit mobile device number>@vtext.com' with '<10 digit mobile device
number>' being replaced by the area code and phone number of the mobile device without dashes,
spaces or a '1' in front of the area code.
If the specific format for your service provider is not known, AVTECH provides a database in the
'Support' section of the AVTECH.com website that contains the email-to-SMS format for many
available service providers. This is the largest database of this type on the web. However, if your service
provider is not listed, please contact them by phone for the proper format and be sure that the mobile
device being used has text messaging capability enabled. If you learn of a new or changed format, please
email this with your contact information to Support@AVTECH.com so we may confirm it and post it
online for the convenience of other users.

SNMP

The Room Alert Signal Tower unit is fully SNMP compliant and can be monitored by applications
capable of performing an SNMP Query or Get request. The Room Alert Signal Tower unit can also be
configured to send SNMP Traps to up to three separate IP addresses when thresholds are exceeded. The
bundled PageR software offers the ability to initiate SNMP Queries to and receive SNMP Traps from the
Room Alert Signal Tower unit. PageR can be used if desired, enabling advanced alerting and automatic
corrective action features. If another application is used to monitor the Room Alert Signal Tower unit, be
sure to obtain the MIB files for the Room Alert Signal Tower unit from the 'Downloads' section of the
AVTECH.com website or the most recent AVTECH Update CD.
